Abstract

This chapter presents a new family of algorithms named regularized Kalman Filters (rgKFs) that have been derived to detect and estimate exogenous outliers that might occur in the observation equation of a standard Kalman filter (KF). Inspired from the robust Kalman filter (RKF) of Mattingley and Boyd, which makes use of a l1-regularization step, the authors introduce a simple but efficient detection step in the recursive equations of the RKF. This solution is one means by which to solve the problem of adapting the value of the l1-regularization parameter: when an outlier is detected in the innovation term of the KF, the value of the regularization parameter is set to a value that will let the l1-based optimization problem estimate the amplitude of the spike. The chapter deals with the application of algorithm to detect irregularities in hedge fund returns.
