Variable Reference

The following table explains the significance of some of the variables we'll be using.

Variable Meaning
x The unknown (and constant) state vector. This is what we're estimating!
H The (linear) measurement model. Perfect measurement of the state would yield Hx.
v The noise which corrupts our measurements. It's sampled from a zero-mean normal distribution.
R The covariance of the measurement noise.
m The number of measurements made.
n The size of the state vector, x.
\tilde{y} The actual noisy measurements.
