Dynamic Particle Filter

A dynamic particle filter is a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm that tracks an evolving hidden state over time by maintaining a population of weighted random samples — particles — each representing a plausible trajectory. As new observations arrive, particle weights are updated via the likelihood and the population is resampled, keeping the representation concentrated on the most probable state regions in a fully nonlinear and non-Gaussian setting.
