Conditional hitting time estimation in a nonlinear filtering model by   the Brownian bridge method
  The model consists of a signal process $X$ which is a general Brownian diffusion process and an observation process $Y$, also a diffusion process, which is supposed to be correlated to the signal process. We suppose that the process $Y$ is observed from time 0 to $s>0$ at discrete times and aim to estimate, conditionally on these observations, the probability that the non-observed process $X$ crosses a fixed barrier after a given time $t>s$. We formulate this problem as a usual nonlinear filtering problem and use optimal quantization and Monte Carlo simulations techniques to estimate the involved quantities.
