ESTIMATION THEORY

Course Objective: The purpose of this course is to give students a background in stochastic system approach and the analysis. Stochastic optimal linear filter, prediction, and smoothing algorithms for discrete-time systems are the main focus.

Syllabus:
Elements of probability theory
-random variables-Gaussian distribution-stochastic processes-characterizations and properties-Gauss-Markov processes-Brownian motion process-Gauss-Markov models
Optimal estimation for discrete-time systems
-fundamental theorem of estimation-optimal prediction
Optimal filtering
-Weiner approach-continuous time Kalman Filter-properties and implementation-steady-state Kalman Filter-discrete-time Kalman Filter-implementation-sub-optimal steady-state Kalman Filter-Extended Kalman Filter-practical applications
Optimal smoothing
-optimal fixed-interval smoothing optimal fixed-point smoothing-optimal fixed-lag smoothing-stability-performance evaluation
