TY - CHAP AU - Xiaojun Yang AU - Keyi Xing ED - Ioannis Dritsas Y1 - 2011-02-28 PY - 2011 T1 - Joint State and Parameter Estimation in Particle Filtering and Stochastic Optimization N2 - Stochastic Optimization Algorithms have become essential tools in solving a wide range of difficult and critical optimization problems. Such methods are able to find the optimum solution of a problem with uncertain elements or to algorithmically incorporate uncertainty to solve a deterministic problem. They even succeed in fighting uncertainty with uncertainty. This book discusses theoretical aspects of many such algorithms and covers their application in various scientific fields.
