Abstract

This paper presents explicit finite-dimensional filters for implementing Newton–Raphson (NR) parameter estimation algorithms. The models which exhibit nonlinear parameter dependence are stochastic, continuous-time and partially observed. The implementation of the NR algorithm requires evaluation of the log-likelihood gradient and the Fisher information matrix. Fisher information matrices are important in bounding the estimation error from below, via the Cramer–Rao bound. The derivations are based on relations between incomplete and complete data, likelihood, gradient and Hessian likelihood functions, which are derived using Girsanov's measure transformations.
