This paper presents a simple and efficient exogenous outlier detection & estimation algorithm introduced in a regularized version of the Kalman Filter (KF). Exogenous outliers that may occur in the observations are considered as an additional stochastic impulse process in the KF observation...

We propose a new filtering and smoothing technique for non-linear state-space models. Observed variables are quadratic functions of latent factors following a Gaussian VAR. Stacking the vector of factors with its vectorized outer-product, we form an augmented state vector whose first two...

The recursive prediction and filtering formulas of the Kalman filter are difficult to implement in nonlinear state space models. For Gaussian linear state space models, or for models with qualitative state variables, the recursive formulas of the filter require the updating of a finite number of...
