To obtain the likelihood of a non-Gaussian state-space model, Durbin and Koopman (1997, Biometrika, 84, 669 -684) ΓΏrst 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
This paper addresses the problem of maximum likelihood parameter estimation in linear models a!ected by Gaussian noise, whose mean and covariance matrix are uncertain. The proposed estimate maximizes a lower bound on the worst-case (with respect to the uncertainty) likelihood of the measured sample,
