In many applications, a state-space model depends on a parameter which needs to be inferred from a data set. Quite often, it is necessary to perform the parameter inference online. In the maximum likelihood approach, this can be done using…
Fourier extension is an approximation method that alleviates the periodicity requirements of Fourier series and avoids the Gibbs phenomenon when approximating functions. We describe a similar extension approach using regular wavelet bases…
