Least-squares second-order polynomial filter and fixed-point smoother are derived in systems with uncertain observations, when the variables describing the uncertainty are non-independent. The proposed estimators do not require the knowledge of the state-space model of the signal. The available information is only the moments, up to the fourth one, of the involved processes, the probability that the signal exists in the observations and the (2,2) element of the conditional probability matrices of the sequence describing the uncertainty.

This paper presents recursive algorithms for the least mean-squared error linear filtering and fixed-interval smoothing estimators, from uncertain observations for the case of white and white plus coloured observation noises. The estimators are obtained by an innovation approach and do not use the state-space model, but only covariance information about the signal and the observation noises, as well as the probability that the signal exists in the observed values. Therefore the algorithms are applicable not only to signal processes that can be estimated by the conventional formulation using the state-space model but also to those for which a realization of the state-space model is not available. It is assumed that both the signal and the coloured noise autocovariance functions are expressed in a semi-degenerate kernel form. Since the semi-degenerate kernel is suitable for expressing autocovariance functions of non-stationary or stationary signal processes, the proposed estimators provide estimates of general signal processes.
The recursive least-squares filter and fixed-point smoother are designed in linear discrete-time systems. The estimators require the information of the system matrix, the observation vector and the variances of the state and white Gaussian observation noise in the signal generating model. By appropriate choices of the observation vector and the state variables, the state-space model corresponding to the ARMA (autoregressive moving average) model of order (n,m) is introduced. Here,some elements of the system matrix consist of the AR parameters. This paper proposes modified iterative technique to the existing one regarding the estimation of the variance of observation noise based on the estimation methods of ARMA parameters in Refs. [2],[3]. As a result, the system matrix, the ARMA parameters and the variances of the state and observation noise are estimated from the observed value and its sampled autocovariance data of finite number. The input noise variance of the ARMA model is estimated by use of the autocovariance data and the estimates of the AR parameters and one MA parameter.

This paper considers the least-squares linear estimation problem of signals from randomly delayed observations when the additive white noise is correlated with the signal. The delay values are treated as unknown variables, modelled by a binary white noise with values zero or one; these values indicate that the measurements arrive in time or they are delayed by one sampling time. A recursive one-stage prediction and filtering algorithm is obtained by an innovation approach and do not use the state-space model of the signal. It is assumed that both, the autocovariance functions of the signal and the crosscovariance function between the signal and the observation noise are expressed in a semi-degenerate kernel form; using this information and the delay probabilities, the estimators are recursively obtained.
General estimation technique using covariance information is proposed for white Gaussian and white Gaussian plus coloured observation noises in linear stationary stochastic systems. Namely, autocovariance data of signal and coloured noise appear in a semi-degenerate kernel, which represents functional expression of the autocovariance data, in the current technique. Then the signal is estimated by directly using autocovariance data of signal and coloured noise. On the other hand, in the previous technique, the covariance information is expressed in the form of a semi-degenerate kernel, but its elements do not include any autocovariance data.
This paper proposes a new design method of nonlinear filtering and fixed-point smoothing algorithms in discrete-time stochastic systems. The observed value consists of nonlinearly modulated signal and additive white Gaussian observation noise. The filtering and fixed-point smoothing algorithms are designed based on the same idea as the extended Kalman filter derived based on the recursive least-squares Kalman filter in linear discrete-time stochastic systems. The proposed filter and fixed-point smoother necessitate the information of the autocovariance function of the signal, the variance of the observation noise, the nonlinear observation function and its differentiated one with respect to the signal. The estimation accuracy of the proposed extended filter is compared with the extended maximum a posteriori (MAP) filter theoretically. Also, the current estimators are compared in estimation accuracy with the extended MAP estimators, the extended Kalman estimators and the Kalman neuro computing method numerically.

This paper treats the least-squares linear filtering and smoothing problems of discrete-time signals from uncertain observations when the random interruptions in the observation process are modelled by a sequence of independent Bernoulli random variables. Using an innovation approach we obtain the filtering algorithm and a general expression for the smoother which leads to fixed-point, fixed-interval and fixed-lag smoothing recursive algorithms. The proposed algorithms do not require the knowledge of the state-space model generating the signal, but only the covariance information of the signal and the observation noise, as well as the probability that the signal exists in the observed values.
This paper proposes new recursive fixed-point smoother and filter using covariance information in linear discrete-time stochastic systems. In this paper, to be able to treat the estimation of the stochastic signal, a performance criterion, extended from the criterion in the H estimation problem, is newly proposed. The criterion is transformed equivalently into a min-max principle in game theory, and an observation equation in a Krein space is obtained as a result. The estimation accuracy of the proposed estimators are compared with the recursive least-squares (RLS) Wiener estimators, the Kalman filter and the fixed-point smoother based on the state-space model.
This paper presents an optimal filtering algorithm using the covariance information in linear continuous distributed parameter systems. It is assumed that the signal is observed with additive white Gaussian noise. The autocovariance function of the signal, the variance of white Gaussian noise, the observed value and the observation matrix are used in the filtering algorithm. Then, the current filter has an advantage that it can be applied to the case where a partial differential equation, which generates the signal process, is unknown.

The least-squares linear filtering and fixed-point smoothing problems of uncertainly observed signals are considered when the signal and the observation additive noise are correlated at any sampling time. Recursive algorithms, based on an innovation approach, are proposed without requiring the knowledge of the state-space model generating the signal, but only the autocovariance and crosscovariance functions of the signal and the observation white noise, as well as the probability that the signal exists in the observations.

This paper discusses the least-squares linear filtering and smoothing (fixed-point and fixed-interval) problems of discrete-time signals from observations, perturbed by additive white noise, which can be randomly delayed by one sampling time. It is assumed that the Bernoulli random variables characterizing delay measurements are correlated in consecutive time instants. The marginal distribution of each of these variables, specified by the probability of a delay in the measurement, as well as their correlation function, are known. Using an innovation approach, the filtering, fixed-point and fixed-interval smoothing recursive algorithms are obtained without requiring the state-space model generating the signal; they use only the covariance functions of the signal and the noise, the delay probabilities and the correlation function of the Bernoulli variables. The algorithms are applied to a particular transmission model with stand-by sensors for the immediate replacement of a failed unit.
This paper proposes new recursive fixed-point smoother and filter using covariance information in linear continuous-time stochastic systems. To be able to treat the stochastic signal estimation problem, a performance criterion, extended from the criterion in the H filtering problem by introducing the stochastic expectation, is newly introduced in this paper. The criterion is transformed equivalently into a min-max principle in game theory, and an observation equation in the Krein spaces is obtained as a result. For γ2<, the estimation accuracies of the fixed-point smoother and the filter are superior to the recursive least-squares (RLS) Wiener estimators previously designed in the transient estimation state. Here, γ represents a parameter in the proposed criterion. This paper also presents the fixed-point smoother and the filter using the state-space parameters from the devised estimators using the covariance information.
This paper discusses the fixed-point smoothing and filtering problems given lumped covariance function of a scalar signal process observed with additive white Gaussian noise. The recursive Wiener smoother and filter are derived by applying an invariant imbedding method to the Volterra-type integral equation of the second kind in linear least-squares estimation problems. The resultant estimators in Theorem 2 require the information of the crossvariance function of the state variable with the observed value, the system matrix, the observation vector, the variance of the observation noise and the observed value. Here, it is assumed that the signal process is generated by the state-space model. The spectral factorization problem is also considered in Sects. 1 and 2.

This paper discusses the least-squares linear filtering and fixed-lag smoothing problems of discrete-time signals from uncertain observations when the random interruptions in the observation process are modelled by a sequence of not necessarily independent Bernoulli variables. It is assumed that the observations are perturbed by white noise and the autocovariance function of the signal is factorizable. Using an innovation approach we obtain the filtering and fixed-lag smoothing recursive algorithms, which do not require the knowledge of the state-space model generating the signal. Besides the observed values, they use only the matrix functions defining the factorizable autocovariance function of the signal, the noise autocovariance function, the marginal probabilities and the (2,2)-element of the conditional probability matrices of the Bernoulli variables. The algorithms are applied to estimate a scalar signal which may be transmitted through one of two channels.

In this paper, we propose a recursive filtering algorithm to restore monochromatic images which are corrupted by general dependent additive noise. It is assumed that the equation which describes the image field is not available and a filtering algorithm is obtained using the information provided by the covariance functions of the signal, noise that affects the measurement equation, and the fourth-order moments of the signal. The proposed algorithm is obtained by an innovation approach which provides a simple derivation of the least mean-squared error linear estimators. The estimation of the grey level in each spatial coordinate is made taking into account the information provided by the grey levels located on the row of the pixel to be estimated. The proposed filtering algorithm is applied to restore images which are affected by general signal-dependent additive noise.
This paper designs recursive least-squares fixed-point smoother and filter, which use the observed value, the probability that the signal exists, and the covariance information relevant to the signal and observation noises, on the estimation problem associated with the uncertain observations in linear continuous-time systems.
