At around 12:15 you say, given we know x_{t-1} is exactly that point and we guess that at time t it could not have gone that far and randomly sample x_t at the upper left point that you show. Could we control action information here? Then, in Step 2: Reweighting you say we end up with a set of new point. Are these the new points (assuming they're different from the previous ones) that you sample based on X_{t-1}. Do you take the point X_{t-1} and set the new points around it as these are all the points where the state could have transitioned to?
Definitely. That’s a very common usage of time series analysis, though I’m a bit skeptical that people are using particle-based Markov models for those these days.
15:56 oh really? you get arbitrarily close to the true distribution just by spamming points? what happens if you have noisy measurements that screw up your reweighing?
I understand you arriving at p(Y_t = y, X_t | Y_{1 : t-1)} - (1). I also understand p(Y_t = y | Y_{1 : t-1} - (2) . What I do not understand is how you got the posterior p(X_t | Y_{1 : t-1}) equals (1) divided by (2). Am I missing some probability identity here?
Extremely wonderful video! Thank you!
Super helpful, thank you!
Extremely intuitive explanation...loved it
Great explanation!

well explained
Helps!
so the benefit of particle filter is to simply avoid calculating PDFs?
can an object be a moving price in a time-series?

that‘s also my question
oh i know, just using this joint distribution formula p(a,b|c)=p(a|c)p(b|a,c)
