Second Order Filter Distribution Approximations for Financial Time Series with Extreme Outlier

fined through the second order Taylor approximation of log f (ytαt) around μt,k,
log g (yt αt∙μt,k) x l (μt,k) + l0 (μt,k) (α- μt,k) +1 l00 (μt,k) (α- μt,k¢2 (24)

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

g (atat-I,k,yt,μt,k} = n μt,klk}                         (26)

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
approximating distribution towards the target distribution. Obviously, these weights
