Python 3 implementation of the nonlinear sigma-point Kalman filters based on Bayesian quadrature. The filter is understood to be composed of moment transforms, which lend it it's uniqueness, which is why the "moment transform" is the key term used troughout the publications and the toybox.
The toybox itself is confined in the ssmtoybox
folder together with the unit tests.
Under research
is a code for reproducing results in the following publications (chronological order):
gpq
: Gaussian Process Quadrature Moment Transform [1]gpqd
: Gaussian Process Quadrautre Moment Transform with Derivatives [2]tpq
: Student's t-Process Quadrature Moment Transform [3]bsq
: Bayes-Sard Quadrature Moment Transform [4]cd docs

The aim of this project was mainly to provide a code base for testing ideas during my Ph.D. research related to the application of Bayesian quadrature for improvement of Kalman filter estimates in terms of crediblity. The code was never meant to be used seriously as a toolbox.
