 State Space Models: Theory, Methods and Applications

 David Stoffer (U. Pittsburgh)

The state space model (SSM) or the hidden Markov Model (HMM) is a very general model that subsumes a whole class of special cases of interest in much the same way that regression does.  For example, the linear Gaussian model includes such varied models ARMA models as well as smoothing splines.  Nonlinear state space models are used in finance, in particular, stochastic volatility as well as computational ecology to study population dynamics and to track animals.  While inference for linear state space models is fairly simple using numerical optimization based on derivatives, inference in the nonlinear case is difficult and relies on derivative free numerical optimization. I will introduce the basic model along with some theory and applications.  I will then introduce a variety of nonlinear models, and discuss applications and inference for these models based on Monte Carlo methods including MCEM, Metropolis-Hastings, and particle methods.
