Parameter estimation for partially observed nonlinear stochastic system

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the parameter estimation problem for partially observed nonlinear stochastic system. The suboptimal estimation of the state is obtained by constructing the extended Kalman filtering equation. The likelihood function is provided based on state estimation equation. The strong consistency of the estimator is proved by applying maximal inequality for martingales, Borel-Cantelli lemma and uniform ergodic theorem. An example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the method.
