This paper deals with the problem of estimating expectations of sums of additive functionals under the joint smoothing distribution in general hidden Markov models. Computing such expectations is a key ingredient in any kind of expectation-maximization-based parameter inference in models of this sort. The paper presents a computationally efficient algorithm for online estimation of these expectations...
Smoothing in state-space models amounts to computing the conditional distribution of the latent state trajectory, given observations, or expectations of functionals of the state trajectory with respect to this distribution. In recent years there has been an increased interest in Monte Carlo-based methods, often involving particle filters, for approximate smoothing in nonlinear and/or non-Gaussian...
