Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student understands the Bayesian basis of estimation in linear and nonlinear dynamic systems. The student understands the principles behind approximate filters and smoothers, and is able to use them in practice. The student knows how to estimate parameters online and offline in nonlinear systems.
