function [LIK,lik] = gaussian_filter(ReducedForm, Y, start, ParticleOptions, ThreadsOptions, options_, M_)
% [LIK,lik] = gaussian_filter(ReducedForm, Y, start, ParticleOptions, ThreadsOptions, options_, M_)
% Evaluates the likelihood of a non-linear model approximating the
% predictive (prior) and filtered (posterior) densities for state variables
% by gaussian distributions.
% Gaussian approximation is done by:
% - a spherical-radial cubature (ref: Arasaratnam & Haykin, 2009).
% - a scaled unscented transform cubature (ref: Julier & Uhlmann 1995)
% - Monte-Carlo draws from a multivariate gaussian distribution.
% First and second moments of prior and posterior state densities are computed
% from the resulting nodes/particles and allows to generate new distributions at the
% following observation.
% Pros: The use of nodes is much faster than Monte-Carlo Gaussian particle and standard particles
% filters since it treats a lesser number of particles. Furthermore, in all cases, there is no need
% of resampling.
% Cons: estimations may be biaised if the model is truly non-gaussian
% since predictive and filtered densities are unimodal.
%
% INPUTS
%    Reduced_Form     [structure] Matlab's structure describing the reduced form model.
%    Y                [double]    matrix of original observed variables.
%    start            [double]    structural parameters.
%    ParticleOptions  [structure] Matlab's structure describing options concerning particle filtering.
%    ThreadsOptions   [structure] Matlab's structure.
%
% OUTPUTS
%    LIK        [double]    scalar, likelihood
%    lik        [double]    vector, density of observations in each period.
