M13A · Problem 11 ★★ Check

Kalman steady state

Scalar model (13A.31) with Q=10−5Q = 10^{-5}, R=10−3R = 10^{-3}, xt≡1x_t\equiv1. (a) Compute Pˉ\bar P, Kˉ\bar K and the filtered variance Pˉt∣t\bar P_{t|t} in steady state. (b) Show that the steady-state filter is an EWMA of yty_t and give the half-life of its weights. (c) Show that multiplying QQ, RR and P0P_0 by the same constant leaves bt∣tb_{t|t} unchanged.
