Analysis of single Gaussian approximation of Gaussian mixtures in Bayesian filtering applied to mixed multiple-model estimation

2007-01-01
This paper examines the effect of the moment-matched single Gaussian approximation, which is made in various multiple-model filtering applications to approximate a Gaussian mixture, on the Bayesian filter performance. The estimation error caused by the approximation is analysed for both the prediction and the measurement updates of a Bayesian filter. An approximate formula is found for the covariance of the error caused by the approximation for a general Gaussian mixture with arbitrary components. The calculated error covariance is used for obtaining a mixed multiple-model estimation algorithm which has a performance near that of GPB2 with less computations.

Q-Adaptation of SVD-aided UKF Algorithm for Nanosatellite Attitude Estimation
Hacızade, Cengiz; Söken, Halil Ersin; Guler, Demet Cilden (2017-01-01)
In this study, we propose process noise covariance matrix adaptation (Q-adaptation) for the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) aided Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithm. The main aim is to make the algorithm adaptive against the changes in the process noise covariance. The SVD-aided Adaptive UKF (SaAUKF) estimates the attitude and attitude rate of a nano satellite. We implement the SVD method in the algorithm's first phase using magnetometer and sun sensor measurements. It estimates the attitude of the ...
Assessment of Transient Stability of Nonlinear Dynamic Systems by the Method of Tangent Hyperplanes and the Method of Tangent Hypersurfaces
Eskicioglu, Ahmet M. (ASME International, 1989-9-1)
Two direct methods, the method of tangent hyperplanes and the method of tangent hypersurfaces, are applied to an elementary nonlinear dynamic system for transient stability assessment. The former method is based on the approximation of the asymptotic stability boundary by hyperplanes at a certain class of unstable singular points in the state-space, and the latter replaces hyperplanes by hypersurfaces. The applicability and accuracy of both methods are evaluated through a comparison of results.
Simple derivative-free nonlinear state observer for sensorless AC drives
Akin, Bilal; Orguner, Umut; Ersak, Aydin; Ehsani, Mehrdad (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006-10-01)
In this paper, a new Kalman filtering technique, unscented Kalman filter (UKF), is utilized both experimentally and theoretically as a state estimation tool in field-oriented control (FOC) of sensorless ac drives. Using the advantages of this recent derivative-free nonlinear estimation tool, rotor speed and dq-axis fluxes of an induction motor are estimated only with the sensed stator currents and voltages information. In order to compare the estimation performances of the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and U...
An improved method for inference of piecewise linear systems by detecting jumps using derivative estimation
Selcuk, A. M.; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01)
Inference of dynamical systems using piecewise linear models is a promising active research area. Most of the investigations in this field have been stimulated by the research in functional genomics. In this article we study the inference problem in piecewise linear systems. We propose first identifying the state transitions by detecting the jumps of the derivative estimates, then finding the guard conditions of the state transitions (thresholds) from the values of the state variables at the state transitio...
Identification of structural non-linearities using describing functions and the Sherman-Morrison method
Ozer, Mehmet Bulent; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Royston, Thomas J. (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-01)
In this study, a new method for type and parametric identification of a non-linear element in an otherwise linear structure is introduced. This work is an extension of a previous study in which a method was developed to localize non-linearity in multi-degree of freedom systems and to identify type and parameters of the non-linear element when it is located at a ground connection of the system. The method uses a describing function approach for representing the non-linearity in the structure. The describing ...
