I assume this preserves the unbiased nature of SMC (since no resampling is unbiased, and full resampling is unbiased) - if not it should be commented.
I'm not sure. Is there a resource to read up about biases introduced by resampling? I didn't read anything in Murphy's book about this not being unbiased. I would have thought that if the procedure at each timestamp is not biased, the whole process is not biased, but I can't prove it.
Also, I want to add a fixture test and look at the values a bit before merging.
I don't really know, but yeah, I also agree with that reasoning.
I managed to produce a crash using this function in rhine-bayes
, but I haven't found the reason yet.

The crash was:
rhine-bayes-gloss: Statistics.Distribution.Normal.normalDistr: standard deviation must be positive. Got NaN
CallStack (from HasCallStack):

I could not manage to reproduce it again. In subsequent runs, it seemed to me that one could definitely speed up performance, while keeping the same variance.
I recently read about improving existing resampling methods by only resampling when the effective sample size is small.
