Stochastic modelling with randomized Markov bridges

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider the filtering problem of estimating a hidden random variable X by noisy observations. The noisy observation process is constructed by a randomised Markov bridge (RMB) (Zt)tin[0,T] of which terminal value is set to ZT=X. That is, at the terminal time T, the noise of the bridge process vanishes and the hidden random variable X is revealed. We derive the explicit filtering formula, governing the dynamics of the conditional probability process, for a general RMB. It turns out that the conditional probability is given by a function of current time t, the current observation Zt, the initial observation Z0, and the a priori distribution u of X at t=0. As an example for an RMB we explicitly construct the skew-normal randomised diffusion bridge and show how it can be utilised to extend well-known commodity pricing models and how one may propose novel stochastic price models for financial instruments linked to greenhouse gas emissions.
