Abstract

A stationary estimator is presented that provides estimates for both the outputs and the inputs of linear time-invariant systems. The estimates satisfy the input-output equations and are optimal in a weighted minimum variance sense. It is shown that the true optimum problem is too complicated to allow a general closed-form solution and a sub-optimal approach is suggested that leads to a simple computational algorithm.
