In this paper, marginal versions of the Bayesian Bhattacharyya lower bound (BBLB), which is a tighter alternative to the classical Bayesian Cramer-Rao bound, for discrete-time filtering are proposed. Expressions for the second and third-order marginal BBLBs are obtained and it is shown how these can be approximately calculated using particle filtering. A simulation example shows that the proposed bounds predict the achievable performance of the filtering algorithms better.
