Abstract

This tutorial aims to provide an accessible introduction to particle filters, and sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) more generally. These techniques allow for Bayesian inference in complex dynamic state-space models and have become increasingly popular over the last decades. The basic building blocks of SMC–sequential importance sampling and resampling–are discussed in detail with illustrative examples. A final example presents a particle filter for estimating time-varying learning rates in a probabilistic category learning task.
