    Abstract

    In the target tracking and its engineering applications, recursive state
    estimation of the target is of fundamental importance. This paper presents a
    recursive performance bound for dynamic estimation and filtering problem, in
    the framework of the finite set statistics for the first time. The number of
    tracking algorithms with set-valued observations and state of targets is
    increased sharply recently. Nevertheless, the bound for these algorithms has
    not been fully discussed. Treating the measurement as set, this bound can be
    applied when the probability of detection is less than unity.

    Abstract

    In radar systems, tracking targets in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
    environments is a very important task. There are some algorithms designed for
    multitarget tracking. Their performances, however, are not satisfactory in low
    SNR environments. Track-before-detect (TBD) algorithms have been developed as a
    class of improved methods for tracking in low SNR environments. However,
    multitarget TBD is still an open issue. In this paper, multitarget TBD
    measurements are modeled, and a highly efficient filter in the framework of
    finite set statistics (FISST) is designed.

  3. Fixed-domain asymptotic properties of tapered maximum likelihood estimators.

    Abstract

    When the spatial sample size is extremely large, which occurs in many
    environmental and ecological studies, operations on the large covariance matrix
    are a numerical challenge. Covariance tapering is a technique to alleviate the
    numerical challenges.
