  • Abstract
    The optimal estimate, in the mean-square-error sense, of state-vector of a linear system excited by zero-mean white Gaussian noise with non-Gaussian initial state-vector is obtained. Both the optimal estimate and the corresponding error covariance matrix are given. It is shown that the optimal estimator consists of two parts: a linear estimator that is obtained from a Kalman filter and a nonlinear estimator. In addition, the a posteriori probability p(x_{k}/\\lambda _{k}) is also given.
