Kalman Filter, Unscented Filter and Particle Flow Filter on Non-linear Models

Abstract: Filters, especially wide range of Kalman Filters have shown their impacts on predicting variables of stochastic models with higher accuracy then traditional statistic methods. Updating mean and covariance each time makes Bayesian inferences more meaningful. In this paper, we mainly focused on the derivation and implementation of three powerful filters: Kalman Filter, Unscented Kalman Filter and Particle Flow Filter. Comparison for these different type of filters could make us more clear about the suitable applications for different circumstances.
