Course Syllabus
Course Syllabus:
Optimal filtering & estimation

We used to offer a course on roughly the same topics as EE5712 until about 15 years ago. We discontinued due to (from what I recall) not having enough
faculty in the controls area to cover all courses that we thought essential.

For the past 4 years we effectively re-instituted the course (taught it as
EE 8950), cross-listed it with the Department of Aerospace & Mechanics (AEM 5451), and shared responsibility by teaching it on alternate years.

Course outline of our recent course offerings

1) Fundamentals of probability theory & stochastic processes, and inear dynamical systems.

2) The Gauss-Markov model, Discrete-time Kalman filtering, computational aspects (square-root filters, and fast algorithms), optimal smoothing, Levinson, & Wiener filtering.

3) Brownian motion and stochastic differential equations, Continuous-time Kalman-Bucy filter, H1-filtering.

4) Nonlinear filtering: Extended Kalman filter, Unscented Kalman filter, Particle filters, and monte carlo methods.

5) Applications.
