In this paper, we provide a two-step procedure to learn importance densities for particle-based filtering. The first stage importance density is constructed based on ensemble Kalman filter kernels. This is followed by learning a second stage importance density via weighted likelihood criteria. The importance density is learned by fitting Gaussian mixture models to a set of particles and weights. The weighted likelihood learning criteria ensure that the second stage importance density is closer to the true filtered density, thereby improving the particle filtering procedure. Particle weights recalculated based on the latter density are shown to mitigate particle weight degeneracy as the filtering procedure propagates in time. We illustrate the proposed methodology on 2D and 3D nonlinear dynamical systems. © 2018, The Author(s). date: 2018 publisher: Springer International Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85048610027&doi=10.1186%2fs13634-018-0557-5&partnerID=40&md5=dc6f02a8759dd89aeac0e498b0e7fcf3 id_number: 10.1186/s13634-018-0557-5 full_text_status: none publication: Eurasip Journal on Advances in Signal Processing volume: 2018 number: 1 refereed: TRUE issn: 16876172 citation: Javvad ur Rehman, M. and Dass, S.C. and Asirvadam, V.S.
