Likelihood analysis of non-Gaussian measurement time series

SUMMARY In this paper we provide methods for estimating non-Gaussian time series models. These techniques rely on Markov chain Monte Carlo to carry out simulation smoothing and Bayesian posterior analysis of parameters, and on importance sampling to estimate the likelihood function for classical inference. The time series structure of the models is used to ensure that our simulation algorithms are efficient.
