Advanced Kalman Filtering, Least-squafes And Modeling.
This Book Is Intended Primarily As A Handbook For Enginee5s Who Must Design Practical Systems.
Its Primary goal Is To Discuss Model Development In Sufficient Detail So That The Reader May Design An Estimator That Meets All Application Requirements And Is Robust To Modeling Assumptions.
Since It Is Sometimes Difficult To A Priori Determine The Best Model Structue, Use Of Exploratory Data Analysis To Define Model Structure Is Discussed.
Methods For Deciding On The “best” Model Are Also Presented.
A Second Goal Is To Present Little Known Extensions Of Least Squares Estimation Or Kalman Filtering That Provide Guidance On Model Edifice And Parameters, Or Make The Estimator More Robust To Cjanges In Real-world Behavior.
A Third Goal Is Discussion Of Implementation Issues That Make The Estimator More Accurate Or Efficient, Or That Make It Flexible So That Model Alternatives Cna Be Easily Compared.
The Fourth Goal Is To Provide The Designer/analyst With Guidance In Evaluating Estimator Performance And In Determining/correcting Problems.
The Final Goal Is To Take measures A Subroutine Library That Simplifies Implementation, And Flexible General Purpose High-level Drivers That Allow Both Easy Analysis Of Alternative Models And Access To Extejsions Of The Basic Filtering.
