Progress in information technologies has enabled to apply computer-intensive methods to statistical analysis. In time series modeling, sequential Monte Carlo method was developed for general nonlinear non-Gaussian state-space models and it enables to consider very complex nonlinear non-Gaussian...

Discrete-time stochastic volatility (SV) models have generated a considerable literature in financial econometrics. However, carrying out inference for these models is a difficult task and often relies on carefully customized Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques. Our contribution here is twofold....
