ECEN/MAE 5523 Estimation Theory

(Homeworks may be collected, or a quiz may be given on the due date.)


Homework #1

Due Thursday, Jan. 21


Homework #2

Due Thursday, Feb. 4


Homework #3

  1. Write a Matlab function M-file to find the least squares parameter estimates for an AR process. The inputs to the M-file should be the order of the process and the y(t) sequence. The outputs of the M-file should be the AR parameter estimates.

  2. Write a Matlab function M-file to implement the recursive least squares algorithm to estimate the parameters of an AR process.  The inputs to the M-file should be the order of the process and the y(t) sequence. The outputs of the M-file should be the AR parameter estimates at each time point.

  3. Test your programs using data obtained by a simulation of the following process.  Test the effect of changing the length of the data sequence on the accuracy of your parameter estimates.  Compare the LS and RLS estimates.

y(t) + 1.5y(t-1) + 0.7y(t-2) = e(t)  (variance of e(t) is 1)
