A Recursive Newton Method for Smoothing in Nonlinear State Space Models

Fatemeh Yaghoobi, Hany Abdulsamad, Simo Särkkä

In this paper, we use the optimization formulation of nonlinear Kalman filtering and smoothing problems to develop second-order variants of iterated Kalman smoother (IKS) methods.…
