Time Series Particle Filter

The time series particle filter is a Sequential Monte Carlo method that tracks the hidden state of a nonlinear, non-Gaussian state-space model as new observations arrive one at a time. It represents the evolving posterior distribution over the latent state as a weighted cloud of random samples (particles), updating them at each time step through propagation, likelihood weighting, and resampling.
