Cramér-Rao Bounds for Estimation of Linear System Noise Covariances
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of Kalman filter depends directly on the noise covariances, which are usually not known and need to be estimated. Several estimation algorithms have been published in past decades, but the measure of estimation quality is missing. The Cramér-Rao bounds represent limitation of quality of parameter estimation that can be obtained from given data. In this article, The Cramér-Rao bounds for noise covariance estimation of linear time-invariant stochastic system will be derived. Two different linear system models will be considered. Further, the performance of earlier published methods will be discussed according to the Cramér-Rao bounds. The analogy between the Cramér-Rao bounds and the Riccati equation will be pointed out.

Channel Estimation Theory of Low-Noise Multiple Parameters: Attainablity Problem of the Cramér-Rao Bounds
For decoherence processes induced by weak interactions with the environment, a general quantum channel with one noise parameter has been formulated. This channel is called low-noise channel and very useful for investigating the parameter estimation in the leading order. In this paper, we formulate the low-noise channel with multiple unknown parameters in order to address the simultaneous achiev...

The Cramér-Rao bounds of centralized and distributed channel estimations are studied for the cooperative communication systems with single amplify-and-forward relay and two transmission phases. Particularly, two cooperation protocols are considered with full cooperation in both transmission phases and partial cooperation in the listening phase, respectively. It is shown that centralized channel...
متن کاملApproximate Expressions for Worst and Best Case Cramér-rao Bounds for Estimating the Parameters of Close Cisoids
We present accurate approximations to the worst and the best case Cramér-Rao bounds for estimating the parameters of two closely spaced cisoids observed in additive complex white Gaussian noise. The approximations are valid in the sub-Rayleigh region where the difference between the critical values of the bounds becomes important.
متن کاملPerformance bounds for linear MMSE receivers in CDMA systems with partial channel knowledge
In code division multiple access (CDMA) systems employing linear adaptive receivers, the detector is typically estimated directly from the received signals, based on some partial knowledge about the system, e.g., signature waveforms of one or several users. We derive the Cramér–Rao lower bounds on the covariances of the estimated linear detectors, under three different assumptions on the mechan...
متن کاملOn using generalized Cramér-Rao inequality to REML estimation in linear models
The main aim of considerations in the problem of estimation of variance components σ 1 and σ 2 2 by using the ML-method and REML-method in normal mixed linear model N{Y, E(Y ) = Xβ, Cov(Y ) = σ 1V + σ 2In} was concerned in the examination of theirs efficiency. It is particularly important when an explicit form of these estimators is unknown and we search for the solutions of the likelihood equa...
