Likelihood and Cost as Path Integrals
作为路径积分的似然与成本
SUMMARY We consider the optimal estimation, prediction and control etc. of time series. The essence of a path integral characterization is considered to be that optimal estimates and decisions etc. are obtained by the free extremization of some form. In Sections 2–5 it is shown for some stock situations that this property is ensured by the direct maximization of likelihood (rather than by appeal to the formally equivalent but operationally contrasting least square…
