Particle Filtering (PF) methods are an established class of procedures for performing inference in non-linear state-space models. Resampling is a key ingredient of PF, necessary to obtain low variance likelihood and states estimates.…

The implicit particle filter seeks to mitigate particle degeneracy by identifying particles in the target distribution's high-probability regions. This study is motivated by the need to enhance computational tractability in implementing…
Implicit inverse problems, in which noisy observations of a physical quantity are used to infer a nonlinear functional applied to an associated function, are inherently ill posed and often exhibit non uniqueness of solutions. Such problems…
