Resilient parameter inference for multisensor state-space models: Managing outliers in large and small sensor networks
摘要
This paper addresses robust parameter estimation in linear state space models with outlier-contaminated multisensor data. We develop an expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm integrated with least trimmed squares (LTS) to ensure robustness, using randomized techniques to overcome the combinatorial complexity of exact solutions. The proposed method efficiently handles both small- and large-scale sensor systems, with tailored strategies for each scenario. Monte Carlo experiments demonstrate superior robustness and computational tractability compared to non-robust alternatives. A preliminary version of this work, focusing exclusively on the limited number of sensors problem, appeared in [
