Generalized adaptive notch filters (GANFs) are estimators of coefficients of quasi-periodically time-varying systems, encountered e.g., in RF applications when Doppler effect takes place. Current state of the art GANFs can deliver highly accurate estimates of system variations' frequency, but underperform in terms of accuracy of system coefficient estimates. The paper proposes a novel multistage GANF with improved coefficient tracking properties and smaller sensitivity to choice of estimation gains. The processing pipeline consists of three stages. First, a pilot filter computes preliminary frequency estimates. Second, a special linear filter reshapes the pilot frequency estimates. Third, a frequency guided GANF works out final estimates of system coefficients. A nontrivial design of the second stage filter assures that the proposed solution has a considerably better performance than current stage of the art solutions or a simpler two-stage approach consisting of the pilot and the frequency guided filter only.

We develop novel algorithms based on interval analysis with theoretical guarantees, to augment the accuracy of cell phone geolocation by taking advantage of local variations of magnetic intensity. Thus, the sources of disturbances to magnetometer readings caused indoors are effectively used as beacons for localization. We construct a magnetic intensity map for an indoor environment by collecting magnetic field data over each floor tile. We then test the algorithms without position initialization and obtain indoor geolocation to within 2 m while slowly walking over a complex path of 80 m. The geolocation errors are smaller in the vicinity of large magnetic disturbances. Finally, we fuse the magnetometer measurement with inertial measurements on the cell phone to yield even smaller geolocation errors of under 50 cm for a moving user. Our theoretical results connect geolocation accuracy to combinations of sensor and map properties. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The evolution of power systems into smart systems requires complex, efficient, and effective algorithms for control and optimization of the system. With this motivation, we propose and study a novel extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm utilizing q-calculus for the real-time dynamic state estimation (DSE) problem for synchronous generators. A 4th order nonlinear synchronous generator model is studied for DSE. Two distinct cases were looked into, one involving normal simulation and the other involving short circuit fault simulation. The observed advantages of the proposed algorithm are faster convergence and better mean-square-error (MSE) performance. As a further advantage, utilization of q-calculus also introduces a tunable q-parameter into the EKF algorithm. The DSE problem is studied under in an environment of Gaussian noise and compared with the traditional EKF. Further research work is suggested involving comparison with other DSE algorithms and in-depth analysis of the algorithm.

Generalized adaptive notch filters (GANFs) are estimators of coefficients of quasi-periodically time-varying systems. Current state of the art CIANFs can deliver highly accurate estimates of system variations' frequency, but underperfonn in terms of accuracy of the coefficient estimates. The paper proposes a novel multistage GANF with accuracy improved in this aspect. The processing pipeline consists of three stages. The preliminary (pilot) frequency estimates are obtained first, then treated with a specially designed linear filter and used to guide the coefficient tracking GANF, which works out the estimates of system coefficients. The proposed solution has considerably better performance than a single stage GANF or a simple two-stage approach consisting of the pilot frequency estimator and the amplitude tracking GANF only.

Two methods, both based on the concept of combustion net torque, for estimation of combustion properties using measurements of crankshaft torque data are investigated in this work. The first of the proposed methods estimates entire burned mass fraction traces from corresponding combustion net torque traces. This is done by solving a convex optimization problem that is based on a derived analytical relation between the two quantities. The other proposed estimation method estimates the well established combustion phasing measure referred to as 50% burned mass fraction directly from combustion net torque using a nonlinear black-box mapping. The methods are assessed using both simulations and experimental data gathered from a 5-cylinder light-duty diesel engine equipped with a crankshaft torque sensor and cylinder pressure sensors that are used for reference measurements. The results indicate that both methods work well but the method that estimates entire burned mass fraction traces is more sensitive to torque data quality. Based on the experimental crankshaft torque data, the direct combustion phasing estimation method delivers estimates with a bias of less than I CAD and a cycle-to-cycle standard deviation of less than 2.7 CAD for all cylinders.

Joint parameter and state estimation is proposed for linear state-space model with uniform, entry-wise correlated, state and output noises (LSU model for short). The adopted Bayesian modelling and approximate estimation produce an estimator that (a) provides the maximum a posteriori estimate enriched by information on its precision, (b) respects correlated noise entries without demanding the user to tune noise covariances, and (c) respects bounded nature of real-life variables.

The paper presents estimation schemes for discrete fractional and integer order state-space systems with fractional order colored noise. The fractional order colored noise is a generalization of the traditional colored noise (noise with dynamic dependency) for the case when the dynamics of noise is of fractional order. Proposed estimation algorithm additionally uses information about noise dynamics, which allows for obtaining better estimates of state vector. The numerical experiments of estimation integer order system with fractional noise are presented as well.

In this paper we propose an online stiffness estimation technique for robotic tasks based only on force data, therefore, not requiring contact position information. This allows estimations to be obtained in robotic tasks involving interactions with unstructured and unknown environments where geometrical data is unavailable or unreliable. Our technique - the Candidate Observer Based Algorithm (COBA) - uses two force observers, configured with different candidate stiffnesses, to estimate online the actual target object stiffness. COBA is embedded in a force control architecture with computed torque in the task space. The theoretical presentation of the algorithm, as well as simulation tests and experimental results with a lightweight robot arm are also presented. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

NONMEM is the most widely used software for population pharmacokinetic (PK)-pharmacodynamic (PD) analyses. The latest version, NONMEM 7 (NM7), includes several sampling-based estimation methods in addition to the classical methods. In this study, performance of the estimation methods available in NM7 was investigated with respect to bias, precision, robustness and runtime for a diverse set of PD models. Simulations of 500 data sets from each PD model were reanalyzed with the available estimation methods to investigate bias and precision. Simulations of 100 data sets were used to investigate robustness by comparing final estimates obtained after estimations starting from the true parameter values and initial estimates randomly generated using the CHAIN feature in NM7. Average estimation time for each algorithm and each model was calculated from the runtimes reported by NM7. The method giving the lowest bias and highest precision across models was importance sampling, closely followed by FOCE/LAPLACE and stochastic approximation expectation-maximization. The methods relative robustness differed between models and no method showed clear superior performance. FOCE/LAPLACE was the method with the shortest runtime for all models, followed by iterative two-stage. The Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo method, used in this study for point estimation, performed worst in all tested metrics.
