Using this second order approximation, the density g (αt, k|Dt) is factorized as
in equation (15) and the factors are

As we sample from g (αt, k|Dt), an approximating sample, the elements in it
must be resampled in order to obtain a sample that gives a better approximation of
the target density f (αt, k|Dt). The weights used in this resampling step are

These are the so-called second stage weights that allow the modification of the
