Opis

Featuring a unified framework to derive different grid-based nonlinear estimation algorithms from a numerical integration perspective, this book discusses the fundamental concepts of many widely used nonlinear estimation techniques.

Recenzje

"This book is a comprehensive account on one such practical estimation technique, based on approximation of the conditional distribution by mixtures of Gaussian densities and replacing the emerging integrals by grid-based numerical schemes. In summary, this book is a carefully written guide to a particular approach to the approximation of optimal estimation algorithms and its implementation in concrete real-life applications."
