Abstract
The use of a Kalman filter in an applications problem requires a detailed model of both the system dynamics and the measurement dynamics. The model for many problems may be extremely large in dimensionality. However, in many instances one has a limited computer capability and, thus, must purposely introduce modeling errors into the filter in order to gain a computational advantage. However, as is well known, this may lead to the phenomenon of filter divergence. This paper considers the development of equations which allow one to evaluate a filter of reduced state. The equations are based upon using covariance analysis techniques in order to determine the true root-mean-square estimation error. These equations are computationally more advantageous than others appearing in the literature.Keywords
