Usually databases are treated primarily as fairly dumb data storage systems, but they can be capable of much more. Case in point the PostgreSQL database and its – Ada-based – PL/pgSQL programming ...

Numerical basics -- Method of least squares -- Recursive least-quares filtering -- Polynomial Kalman filters -- Kalman filters in a nonpolynomial world -- Continuous polynomial Kalman filter -- ...

It appears that no particular approximate [nonlinear] filter is consistently better than any other, though . . . any nonlinear filter is better than a strictly linear one. 1 The Kalman filter is a ...

This section describes a collection of Kalman filtering and smoothing subroutines for time series analysis; immediately following are three examples using Kalman filtering subroutines. The state space ...

Before too long, we will be relieved of the burden of long-distance driving. Given the desired destination and access to a mapping system, electronic control and navigation algorithms will select the ...

For Kalman filter processing where matrix inversion is always required the roundoff error can be a problem with small word-length machines. A class of Kalman filter ...

We’ve probably all had a few conversations with people who hold eccentric scientific ideas, and most of the time they yield nothing more than frustration and perhaps a headache. In [Bertrand Selva]’s ...
