More often than not, we encounter problems with varying parameters as opposed to those that are static. In this paper, we treat the estimation of parameters which vary with space. We use Metropolis-Hastings algorithm as a selection criteria for the maximum filter likelihood. Comparisons are made with the use of joint estimation of both the spatially varying parameters and the state. We illustrate the procedures employed in this paper by means of two hyperbolic SPDEs: the advection and the wave equation. The Metropolis-Hastings procedure registers better estimates.
