Abstract
The formulation of the data-assimilation problem described in the previous chapter is probabilistic, and its computational resolution requires the probing of a posterior probability distribution on signal-given data.

Notes
- 1.
Indeed, we prove such a result in Lemma 4.7 in the context of the particle filter .
- 2.
Recall that we use the ∧ operator to denote the minimum between two real numbers.
