            Abstract : 
Error entropy estimation principles are used to analyze the smoothing problem for linear discrete time systems. Using information-theoretic concepts, a smoothing rate upper bound formula is developed which is considerably simpler to use than determining smoothing effectiveness by the optimal mean-square-error smoothing algorithm.
