Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods

This collection of functions implements some commonly used particle filters and particle smoother for state estimation in state-space models. The examples only serve as introductionary examples of the methods and the problem can be solved in closed form using Kalman methods, since the system is linear and Gaussian.
