Kalman smoother
Summary
Kalman smoothing is a posterior inference algorithm for linear dynamical systems (LDSs). It computes posterior marginals for all time steps conditioned on all of the observations. It is used in parameter learning for LDSs.
Context
This concept has the prerequisites:
- Kalman filter (The forward pass of the Kalman smoother is the Kalman filter.)
