A heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent test for process noise calibration of Kalman filters in multi-sensor orbit determination
Antonio Malaver, Jose M. Montilla, Rafael Vazquez
Process noise calibration is a central problem in sequential orbit determination. If the process noise covariance is too small the filter is overconfident, and if it is too large i…
