We propose a methodology for filtering, smoothing and assessing parameter and filtering uncertainty in score-driven models. Our technique is based on a general representation of the Kalman filter and smoother recursions for linear Gaussian models in terms of the score of the conditional log-likelihood. We prove that, when data is generated by a nonlinear non-Gaussian state-space model, the proposed methodology results from a local expansion of the true filtering density. A formal characterization of the approximation error is provided. As shown in extensive Monte Carlo analyses, our methodology performs very similarly to exact simulation-based methods, while remaining computationally extremely simple. We illustrate empirically the advantages in employing score-driven models as approximate filters rather than purely predictive processes.
Applications such as the analysis of microbiome data have led to renewed interest in statistical methods for compositional data, i.e., multivariate data in the form of probability vectors that contain relative proportions. In particular, there is con
It has become commonplace to use complex computer models to predict outcomes in regions where data does not exist. Typically these models need to be calibrated and validated using some experimental data, which often consists of multiple correlated ou
This paper is concerned with model averaging estimation for partially linear functional score models. These models predict a scalar response using both parametric effect of scalar predictors and non-parametric effect of a functional predictor. Within
We consider the problem of filtering an unseen Markov chain from noisy observations, in the presence of uncertainty regarding the parameters of the processes involved. Using the theory of nonlinear expectations, we describe the uncertainty in terms o
A common challenge in estimating parameters of probability density functions is the intractability of the normalizing constant. While in such cases maximum likelihood estimation may be implemented using numerical integration, the approach becomes com
