Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to manage the horizon size in nonlinear finite impulse response (FIR) filtering. The proposed approach is to perform state estimation through a bank of FIR filters called a weighted average extended FIR filter bank (WAEFFB). In the WAEFFB, the state estimate is obtained by weighting the average of multiple estimates from a bank of extended FIR filters that uses different horizon sizes. The horizon sizes used for the WAEFFB are adjusted constantly by maximizing the likelihood function. We show through simulations that the WAEFFB yields better results than the conventional approach that uses a constant (i.e., fixed) horizon size.
