Colored Tobit Kalman filter

open access: yesCommunications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2021
This paper deals with the Tobit Kalman filtering (TKF) process when the one-dimensional measurements are censored and the noises of the state-space model are coloured. Two improvements of the standard TKF process are proposed. Firstly, the exact moments of the censored measurements are calculated via the moment generating function of the censored ...
