Theory and practice of linear and non-linear filtering with applications in statistics and finance.
Lernziel
Theory and practice of linear and non-linear filtering with applications in statistics and finance.
Inhalt
Filtering is the task of recovering unobserved state variables from noisy observations. This course covers the theoretical foundations of filtering in various levels of generality, as well as numerics and applications in statistics and finance.
The course starts with linear (Kalman) filtering and progresses to non-linear filtering for semimartingale state and observation processes. The course also includes numerical methods like Markov chain approximations, Galerkin approximations, and particle filtering, as well as applications to financial models of, e.g., interest rates or credit risk.
