Özet

The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is the often used filtering algorithm for nonlinear systems. But it does not usually produce desirable results. Recently a new nonlinear filtering algorithm named as Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is introduced. In this paper, we propose a new modified Unscented Kalman Filter (MUKF) algorithm for nonlinear stochastic systems that are linear in some components. These nonlinear systems can be considered as having linear subsystems with parameters and aim is to estimate the system parameters. In simulation study, performance of the EKF, its known variant Modified Extended Kalman Filter (MEKF), UKF and the proposed MUKF is demonstrated for a nonlinear system that is linear in some components. The results show that MUKF gives the best solution for parameter identification problem.
