Title
Stochastic Pde Projection On Manifolds: Assumed-Density And Galerkin Filters
Abstract
We review the manifold projection method for stochastic nonlinear filtering in a more general setting than in our previous paper in Geometric Science of Information 2013. We still use a Hilbert space structure on a space of probability densities to project the infinite dimensional stochastic partial differential equation for the optimal filter onto a finite dimensional exponential or mixture family, respectively, with two different metrics, the Hellinger distance and the L-2 direct metric. This reduces the problem to finite dimensional stochastic differential equations. In this paper we summarize a previous equivalence result between Assumed Density Filters (ADF) and Hellinger/Exponential projection filters, and introduce a new equivalence between Galerkin method based filters and Direct metric/Mixture projection filters. This result allows us to give a rigorous geometric interpretation to ADF and Galerkin filters. We also discuss the different finite-dimensional filters obtained when projecting the stochastic partial differential equation for either the normalized (Kushner-Stratonovich) or a specific unnormalized (Zakai) density of the optimal filter.
