A.2 The discrete case<br />

For reasons of completeness we aga<strong>in</strong> note here the Kalman-Bucy lter for<br />

the discrete case, as already given <strong>in</strong> section 3.1.2.<br />

Consider the stochastic system<br />

X i = D i X i,1 + S i + " i ; i =1;:::;n; (System)<br />

(A.7)<br />

where fX i g n i=0<br />

are random d 1vectors, fD i g n i=0<br />

are non-random d d matrices,<br />

fS i g n i=1<br />

are non-random d1 vectors, X 0 N d (x 0 ;V 0 ), " i N d (0;V i ),<br />

i = 1;:::;n and X 0 , " 1 ;:::, " n are stochastically <strong>in</strong>dependent. Assume the<br />

observable quantities are Y 0 ;Y 1 ;:::;Y n given by<br />

Y i = T i X i + U i + e i ; i =0; 1;:::;n; (Observations)<br />

(A.8)<br />

where fT i g n i=0<br />

are non-random k d matrices (k d), fU i g n i=0<br />

are nonrandom<br />

k 1 vectors, e i N k (0;W i ) and X 0 ;" 1 ;:::;" m ;e 0 ;e 1 ;:::;e n are<br />

stochastically <strong>in</strong>dependent, i =0; 1;:::;n.<br />

The Kalman-Bucy lter<br />

Under some assumptions (see Pedersen [59], pp. 4{5), we have for given<br />

observations y 0 ;y 1 ;:::;y n of Y 0 ;Y 1 ;:::;Y n<br />

X i jY i = y i N d<br />
