ABSTRACT

Denoting by i(kIk) the EKF state estimate and by i(k+llk) the one-step EKF state prediction, the prediction equation for the special structure of our model has the form

1(k + llk) = + (I — (1,)t.

The physical interpretation of Eq. 12.6.3 applied to our speech model is that the one-step EKF state predictor based on the current EKF state estimate will always move towards the target vector t for a given system matrix .1.. Such desirable dynamics comes directly from state equation Eq. 12.4, and it is, in fact, in exactly the same form as the noise-free model state equation.
