Brief paper: Unbiased minimum-variance input and state estimation for linear discrete-time systems

TL;DR: A recursive filter, optimal in the minimum-variance unbiased sense, is developed where the estimation of the state and the input are interconnected and the state estimation problem is transformed into a standard Kalman filtering problem.

Technical communique: Unbiased minimum-variance input and state estimation for linear discrete-time systems with direct feedthrough

TL;DR: Using linear minimum-variance unbiased estimation, a recursive filter is derived where the estimation of the state and the input are interconnected, based on the assumption that no prior knowledge about the dynamical evolution of the unknown input is available.

A dual Kalman filter approach for state estimation via output-only acceleration measurements

TL;DR: In this article, a dual implementation of the Kalman filter for estimating the unknown input and states of a linear state-space model by using sparse noisy acceleration measurements is proposed, which avoids numerical issues attributed to unobservability and rank deficiency of the augmented formulation of the problem.

TL;DR: A new method is developed for the state estimation of linear discrete-time stochastic systems in the presence of an unknown disturbance that is optimal in the unbiased minimum variance sense.

Robust two-stage Kalman filters for systems with unknown inputs

TL;DR: A robust two-stage Kalman filter which is unaffected by the unknown inputs can be readily derived and serves as an alternative to the Kitanidis' (1987) unbiased minimum-variance filter.

The intrinsic random functions and their applications

TL;DR: The intrinsic random functions (IRF) are a particular case of the Guelfand generalized processes with stationary increments and constitute a much wider class than the stationary RF, and are used in practical applications for representing nonstationary phenomena as discussed by the authors.

On the identification of variances and adaptive Kalman filtering

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the steady-state optimal Kalman filter gain depends only on n \times r linear functionals of the covariance matrix and the number of unknown elements in the matrix.

A generalized likelihood ratio approach to the detection and estimation of jumps in linear systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a class of stochastic linear systems that are subject to jumps of unknown magnitudes in the state variables occurring at unknown times and devise an adaptive filtering system for the detection and estimation of the jumps.
