Summary: | We propose the ensemble Kalman smoother multiple distribution estimation filter (EnKS-MDEF) for nonlinear state estimation problems. The EnKS-MDEF is an example of the multiple distribution estimation filter (MDEF), which is a particle filter (PF) that estimates the filtered state probability density function (pdf) using multiple conditional state pdfs. The one step behind (OSB) smoothed state pdf used for calculating the filtered state pdf of the MDEF is approximated by the ensemble Kalman smoother (EnKS). Then, the particle weights for the EnKS-MDEF remain equal during the filter execution, which indicates that the EnKS-MDEF is a degeneracy-free PF. Since, the MDEF and the EnKS-MDEF, both estimate the OSB smoothed state pdf prior to calculating the filtered state pdf, these filters provide a simultaneous estimation of filtered and OSB smoothed states. The examples of the EnKS-MDEF are the EnKS-extended and unscented Kalman multiple distribution estimation filters, and their filtering and OSB smoothing performances are evaluated and compared with those for the representative filters and smoothers using a benchmark simulation problems. |
