The class of dynamical systems we consider, are autoregressive state processes and a sequence of Poisson distributed observations, each influenced by the state process. Computing explicit recursive filters for this class of system can be technically difficult. Further, exact filters for this class of model do not have fixed memory requirements. It is shown in Manton et al. (1999), that the exact filter for these models has linear growth with respect to time in the number of sufficient statistics needed to construct the filter density. Some approximate suboptimal filters are available for these models using Edgeworth expansions. Using Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods and the so called Bayesian bootstrap filter, we propose a scheme to estimate an intensity process for the models just described. The scheme we present is simple to implement and has fixed memory requirements. A simulation study is included to demonstrate the performance of SMC methods for discrete time models with Poisson observations.","PeriodicalId":385351,"journal":{"name":"Final Program and Abstracts on Information, Decision and Control","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126856297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The initial motivation behind the development of adaptive control models was the need to account for uncertainty in the parameters and structure of physical systems. When such a system to be controlled should be simulated by a computer with some stochastic model, then it is suitable to use evolutionary computing to determine automatically the role of each parameter on the system performance, what can lead to an advantage in the optimisation of some proposed automation model under study. Concurrently the use of virtual environments with the visualization of the model's performance in a three dimensional perspective could open the possibility for the user to taste some kind of immersion as close as possible into the reality of the system in simulation.","PeriodicalId":385351,"journal":{"name":"Final Program and Abstracts on Information, Decision and Control","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125473522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
