Monte Carlo methods are revolutionising the on-line analysis of data

in fields as diverse as financial modelling, target tracking and

computer vision. These methods, appearing under the names of bootstrap

filters, condensation, optimal Monte Carlo filters, particle filters

and survial of the fittest, have made it possible to solve numerically

many complex, non-standarard problems that were previously

intractable.

This book presents the first comprehensive treatment of these

techniques, including convergence results and applications to

tracking, guidance, automated target recognition, aircraft navigation,

robot navigation, econometrics, financial modelling, neural

networks,optimal control, optimal filtering, communications,

reinforcement learning, signal enhancement, model averaging and

selection, computer vision, semiconductor design, population biology,

dynamic Bayesian networks, and time series analysis. This will be of

great value to students, researchers and practicioners, who have some

basic knowledge of probability.

Arnaud Doucet received the Ph. D. degree from the University of Paris-

XI Orsay in 1997. From 1998 to 2000, he conducted research at the

Signal Processing Group of Cambridge University, UK. He is currently

an assistant professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering of

Melbourne University, Australia. His research interests include

Bayesian statistics, dynamic models and Monte Carlo methods.

Nando de Freitas obtained a Ph.D. degree in information engineering

from Cambridge University in 1999. He is presently a research

associate with the artificial intelligence group of the University of

California at Berkeley. His main research interests are in Bayesian

statistics and the application of on-line and batch Monte Carlo

methods to machine learning.
