Sigma-Point Particle Filter for Parameter Estimation in a Multiplicative Noise Environment

A pre-requisite for the “optimal estimate” by the ensemble-based Kalman filter (EnKF) is the Gaussian assumption for background and observation errors, which is often violated when the errors are multiplicative, even for a linear system. This study first explores the challenge of the multiplicative...
