On the asymptotic variance in the central limit theorem for particle filters

Benjamin Favetto (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Particle filter algorithms approximate a sequence of distributions by a sequence of empirical measures generated by a population of simulated particles. In the context of Hidden Markov Models (HMM), they provide approximations of the distribution of optimal filters associated to these models. For a given set of observations, the behaviour of particle filters, as the number of particles tends to infinity, is asymptotically Gaussian, and the asymptotic variance in the central limit theorem depends...

On the Bennett–Hoeffding inequality

Iosif Pinelis (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

The well-known Bennett–Hoeffding bound for sums of independent random variables is refined, by taking into account positive-part third moments, and at that significantly improved by using, instead of the class of all increasing exponential functions, a much larger class of generalized moment functions. The resulting bounds have certain optimality properties. The results can be extended in a standard manner to (the maximal functions of) (super)martingales. The proof of the main result relies on an...

On the computation of the exact distribution of power divergence test statistics

Marco A. Marhuenda, Yolanda Marhuenda, Domingo Morales (2003)

Kybernetika

In this paper we introduce several algorithms to generate all the vectors in the support of a multinomial distribution. Computational studies are carried out to analyze their efficiency with respect to the CPU time and to calculate their efficiency frontiers. The proposed algorithm is used to calculate exact distributions of power divergence test statistics under the hypothesis of uniformity. Finally, several exact power comparisons are done for different divergence statistics and families of alternatives...
