Introduction to Optimal Estimation (Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing) - Softcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book, developed from a set of lecture notes by Professor Kamen, and since expanded and refined by both authors, is an introductory yet comprehensive study of its field. It contains examples that use MATLAB^® and many of the problems discussed require the use of MATLAB^®. The primary objective is to provide students with an extensive coverage of Wiener and Kalman filtering along with the development of least squares estimation, maximum likelihood estimation and a posteriori estimation, based on discrete-time measurements. In the study of these estimation techniques there is strong emphasis on how they interrelate and fit together to form a systematic development of optimal estimation. Also included in the text is a chapter on nonlinear filtering, focusing on the extended Kalman filter and a recently-developed nonlinear estimator based on a block-form version of the Levenberg-Marquadt Algorithm.
