At this point, it is not difficult to generalize the procedure for obtaining the approxi-
mation of f (x( nþ k ) j y(1 : n )) for any k . 0. We propagate the particle streams from
time instant n to time instant n þ k by using the transition PDFs f (x( n þ i ) j x( nþ i 2
1)), i ¼ 1, 2, ... , k , and associating with the last set of generated particles x
( m ) ( n þ k )
the weights w ( m ) ( n ) to obtain the random measure {x
( m ) ( nþk ), w ( m ) ( n )} 1 .
5.9 SMOOTHING
In Section 5.2, we pointed out that sometimes we may prefer to estimate x( n ) based on
data y(1 : nþ k ), where k . 0. All the information about x( n ) in that case is in the
smoothing PDF f (x( n ) j y( n þ k )). With particle filtering, we approximate this density
with a random measure in a similar way as we approximated filtering PDFs.
When we deal with the problem of smoothing, we discriminate between two types
of smoothing. One of them is called fixed-lag smoothing and the interest there is in the
PDF f (x( n ) j y(1 : nþ k )), where k is a fixed lag. The other is called fixed interval
smoothing, where the objective is to find the PDF f (x( n ) j y(1 : N )) for any n where
0 n , N .
