Abstract

The problem of filter-based state estimation for a partially observed stochastic network is considered in this paper, using the measure change approach. The network is assumed to have two types of nodes: observed and hidden. Their dynamics are defined by a set of counting processes with state-dependent intensities. The goal is to derive the nonlinear optimal filter and to propose a numerical scheme for its practical implementation. Network models that allow the optimal filter to be finite-dimensional are also considered. The theoretical results are applied to a retrial queuing system to track changes in two hidden stations: one accumulates blocked customers and the other contains unsatisfied customers.
