Hi Steffen,

If Y is rank difficient, the original formular has to change because it was derived based on the assuption YY^T is not signular. As you said, this only possiblelly happens when measurement errors are ignored. In other words, we can always add very small measurement errors to avoid such singularity. You can always assume Wn = eI with a sufficiently small e to make the code works.

Hope this helps.

Well, I can see what you try to do is to increase the cost of selected assignment then to find next best assignment. However, you made a wrong change. The assignment results in dicated row 1 assigned with colume 3, but you miss understood as column 1 assigned with row 3. Wish this helps.

when i highlith error between variable and its estimate (by adding a new variable err=x-xestimate) i plot err. a cycle limit (oscillation )is in this figure.and a gap appear between variable and its estimate .
is it an explanation and solution to this.

I have suffered this kind of error using this file

Hello everybody,
i have more general question about the extended kalman filter usage. what is not clear to me why EKF uses non-linear functions f and h for state prediction and estimate, while in other places the Jacobian of these functions is used.
Why the following is never used?
first calculate the liniarized state and measurements models at previous estimate point using Jacobian. Use the liniearized state transition and measurements matrix everywhere instead of non-linear in this specific iteration.
I would really appreciate your help
Thank you
