Bayesian Parameter Identification for Jump Markov Linear Systems

This paper presents a Bayesian method for identification of jump Markov linear system parameters. A primary motivation is to provide accurate quantification of parameter uncertainty without relying on asymptotic in data-length arguments. To achieve this, the paper details a particle-Gibbs sampling approach that provides samples from the desired posterior distribution. These samples are produced by utilising a modified discrete particle filter and carefully chosen conjugate priors.
