To obtain the likelihood of a non-Gaussian state-space model, Durbin and Koopman (1997, Biometrika, 84, 669 -684) ÿrst calculate the likelihood under an approximating linear Gaussian model and then use Monte Carlo methods to estimate the necessary adjustment factor. We show that Durbin and Koopman's
