Example—The <strong>Kalman</strong> Filter<br />

Curve-fitting least squares fit<br />

• The <strong>Kalman</strong> filter<br />

– <strong>Kalman</strong> filtering brings in<strong>to</strong> consideration 2, 3, 4, 5.<br />

– Modeling remains a problem.<br />

– The least squares curve fit <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Kalman</strong> filter yield the same<br />

estimates when<br />

• Initial uncertainty in X is large.<br />

• All observations are <strong>of</strong> equal quality.<br />

• System is overdetermined or exactly determined.<br />

– The <strong>Kalman</strong> filter is recursive.<br />

– The <strong>Kalman</strong> filter accommodates a dynamical model for X.<br />
