Tutorial Session 1: Optimal Estimation, Kalman Filter and Mathematical Fundamentals of Hidden Markov Models (This tutorial session will be held in Turkish)

Time: June 26th 2019 - Wednesday: 13:30-18:00
Place: MF418 Computer Lab

Instructor: Kerem Altun, Işık University

Content: In this training session, firstly the optimal (best) methods for parameter estimation within the scope of static estimation theory and its mathematical foundations will be explained. Then Markov chains will be introduced with examples. Then, Markov models will be mentioned. After estimating the situation estimation problem in dynamic systems, static estimation methods will be expanded and Kalman filter equations will be given for discrete linear dynamic systems and intuitive interpretation and derivation of these equations will be discussed. These two methods, which are very difficult and complicated in the first encounter of the students, will be clarified with examples from the real physical systems and the similarity of the two methods will be discussed. For the nonlinear models, the basic Kalman Filter (Particle Filter) and Particle Filter methods will be introduced at the most basic level.
