This study presents the state estimation problem of discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems with stochastic coefficient matrices which is motivated by the idea of establishing the general filter framework of the joint state estimation and data association in clutters for tracking the manoeuvering target. According to the orthogonality principle, the linear minimum-mean-square error estimator for this system (abbreviated as LMSCE estimator) is derived recursively and sufficient conditions are given for the stability of the LMSCE estimator. The simulation about tracking the manoeuvering target in clutters shows that the LMSCE estimator obtains much more accurate estimate than the well-known interacting multiple model probabilistic data association filter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
