Calibration of parameters with Kalman filter.


uppose that the functions $A_{t},H_{t},...$ depend on vector of unknown parameters $\theta$ . Recall that all the processes are Gaussian. According to the previous section if we have a list of observations MATH then we can form a likelihood function MATH where the $p$ is the density of the normal random variable MATH With the likelihood function known we can take a classical position and maximize it ( Maximal likelihood ) or take a Bayesian position ( Bayesian statistics ) and do MCMC.
