TL;DR
This paper introduces an adaptive-lag particle smoother for online estimation in general state-space models, which efficiently approximates marginal expectations with theoretical guarantees on its asymptotic behavior and memory efficiency.
Contribution
It proposes a novel adaptive-lag smoothing algorithm that recursively manages estimators for each marginal, improving online approximation in state-space models.
Findings
Algorithm has proven asymptotic convergence.
Memory usage is optimized through adaptive stopping criteria.
The method extends existing particle smoothers with adaptive features.
Abstract
We present a novel algorithm, an adaptive-lag smoother, approximating efficiently, in an online fashion, sequences of expectations under the marginal smoothing distributions in general state-space models. The algorithm evolves recursively a bank of estimators, one for each marginal, in resemblance with the so-called particle-based, rapid incremental smoother (PaRIS). Each estimator is propagated until a stopping criterion, measuring the fluctuations of the estimates, is met. The presented algorithm is furnished with theoretical results describing its asymptotic limit and memory usage.
