The validity of Algorithm S1 #
Lemma S1 of the supplementary material is proved here: let x_{1:T} βΌ Ο and run steps (a) and (b)
of Algorithm S1, with c drawn from C(B_t(Β·|x_{t+1}))(b_t, Β·) for kernels C(p) which are
reversible with respect to p, as are the kernels K_{t,j,j} of the six selection rules. Then the
joint distribution of x_{1:T} and of the variables (π±, a, b_{1:T}) of these steps is that of
(x_1^{b_1}, β¦, x_T^{b_T}) and of (π±, a, b_{1:T}) with the density (S4).
In the proof, for each b, the reference trajectory is read off the particles with the indices
b. The target density at (x_1^{b_1}, β¦, x_T^{b_T}) times the density of steps (a) and (b) is
then the density (S4), by the pointwise identity target_mul_fwdDensity_eq_extDensity.
Proposition S1 is also proved here: given (π±, a), the pairs (b_t, l_t) form the backward
Markov chain pairChain K, which does not change when the indices of the reference and of the
output are exchanged, so that the Markov kernel defined by Algorithm S1 is reversible with respect
to Ο.
Integrals with respect to the joint distribution of x_{1:T} βΌ Ο and of the variables
(y, a, b) of steps (a) and (b) of Algorithm S1 are integrals over the particle positions of sums,
over the ancestor indices and the indices of the reference, of the target density at
(x_1^{b_1}, β¦, x_T^{b_T}) times the density of these steps times the integrand, evaluated at
the reference trajectory (x_1^{b_1}, β¦, x_T^{b_T}).
Integrals with respect to the distribution with the density (S4) are integrals over the particle positions of sums over the ancestor indices and the indices of the reference of the density (S4) times the integrand.
The map w β¦ (x, w), where x = (x_1^{b_1}, β¦, x_T^{b_T}) is the reference trajectory read off
the particles with the indices of the reference, is measurable.
Lemma S1: if the resampling schemes satisfy the condition of Definition S1 and each C(p)
is reversible with respect to p, the joint distribution of x_{1:T} βΌ Ο and of the variables
(π±, a, b_{1:T}) of steps (a) and (b) of Algorithm S1, with c drawn from
C(B_t(Β·|x_{t+1}))(b_t, Β·), is that of (x_1^{b_1}, β¦, x_T^{b_T}) and of (π±, a, b_{1:T}) with
the density (S4).
Lemma S1, second part: under the same hypotheses, (π±, a, b_{1:T}) has the density (S4).
The distribution with the density (S4) is s-finite.

Instances For
The backward Markov chain pairChain K is an s-finite kernel.
For measurable kernels, the probabilities pathProb of pairChain K are measurable functions
of the particle positions and the ancestor indices.
Integrals with respect to pairChain K are sums over the pairs (b, l), weighted by
pathProb.
Integrals with respect to the joint distribution of x_{1:T} βΌ Ο, of the variables (y, a, b)
of steps (a) and (b) of Algorithm S1, and of a variable c drawn from a kernel Ξ· given these,
are integrals, with respect to the distribution with the density (S4), of the integral with
respect to Ξ·, at the reference trajectory (x_1^{b_1}, β¦, x_T^{b_T}).
The trajectory of the particles with the indices l, as a function of the particle positions,
the ancestor indices, and l, is measurable.
With at least one particle, the probabilities W_T^{b_T} β_t B_t(b_t|b_{t+1}) of the sequences
of indices b sum to one, because W_T and the B_t(Β·|j) are probability vectors.
Lemma 4 for Algorithm S1 (proof of Proposition S1): the joint distribution of
x_{1:T} βΌ Ο, of the particle positions and the ancestor indices (π±, a), and of the indices
(b, l) of the reference and of the output of Algorithm S1, read as (x, ((π±, a), (b, l))), is
that of (x_1^{b_1}, β¦, x_T^{b_T}) and of ((π±, a), (b, l)), where (π±, a) has its distribution
under the density (S4) and, given (π±, a), (b, l) has the distribution of the backward Markov
chain pairChain K.
The joint distribution of x_{1:T} βΌ Ο and of the output of Algorithm S1 is that of the
trajectories (x_1^{b_1}, β¦, x_T^{b_T}) and (x_1^{l_1}, β¦, x_T^{l_T}), where (π±, a) has its
distribution under the density (S4) and, given (π±, a), (b, l) has the distribution of the
backward Markov chain pairChain K.
Under the hypotheses of Algorithm S1, pairChain K does not change when the indices of the
reference and of the output are exchanged.
Proposition S1: for kernels K_T and K_{t,j,j'} as in Algorithm S1, the Markov kernel
defined by Algorithm S1 is reversible with respect to Ο.
With at least one particle, if the resampling schemes satisfy the condition of Definition S1 and
the kernels C(p) are Markov kernels reversible with respect to p, the distribution with the
density (S4) is a probability measure.
Converse of Lemma S1: under the same hypotheses, if (π±, a, b_{1:T}) has the density (S4),
then (x_1^{b_1}, β¦, x_T^{b_T}) βΌ Ο.
With at least one particle, the distribution of the particle positions and the ancestor indices under the density (S4) with the Gibbs kernels is a probability measure.
With at least one particle, for measurable kernels which satisfy the hypotheses of
Algorithm S1, pairChain K is a Markov kernel.
With at least one particle, for measurable kernels which satisfy the hypotheses of Algorithm S1, the kernel of Algorithm S1 is a Markov kernel.
With at least one particle, for measurable kernels which satisfy the hypotheses of
Algorithm S1, the kernel of Algorithm S1 leaves Ο invariant.
With at least one particle, each B_t(Β·|j) of eq. (S3) is a probability vector.
The kernels of the selection rules, with the probabilities (S3), satisfy the hypotheses of Algorithm S1 at all particle positions and ancestor indices.
With at least one particle, for kernels which satisfy the hypotheses of Algorithm S1, the
probabilities pathProb of pairChain K are nonnegative.
Lemma 4 for Algorithm S1: the joint distribution of the particle positions and the ancestor
indices, and of the indices of the reference and of the output, of Algorithm S1 started from
x_{1:T} βΌ Ο is that of (π±, a) under the density (S4) followed by pairChain K.
