Abstract

The problem of optimal estimation of linear functional ANξ=k=0Na(k)ξ(k){{A}_{N}}\xi =\sum\limits_{k=0}^{N}{a(k)\xi (k)}\, depending on the unknown values of a stochastic sequence ξ(m)\xi (m) with stationary nn-th increments from observations of the sequence ξ(k)\xi (k) at points k=1,2,k=-1,-2,\ldots and of the sequence ξ(k)+η(k)\xi (k)+\eta (k) at points of time k=N+1,N+2,k=N+1,N+2,\ldots is considered. Formulas for calculating the mean square error and the spectral characteristic of the optimal linear estimate of the functional are proposed under condition of spectral certainty, where spectral densities of the sequences ξ(m)\xi (m) and η(m)\eta (m) are exactly known. Minimax (robust) method of estimation is applied in the case where the spectral densities are not known exactly while some sets of admissible spectral densities are given. Formulas that determine the least favorable spectral densities and the minimax spectral characteristics are proposed for some specific sets of admissible densities.
