Square-root Cubature Kalman Filter (SCKS)

This toolbox contains implementation of square-root Cubature Kalman Filter and square-root Rauch-Tang-Striebel smoother (SCKF-SCKS). These algorithms perform joint estimation of the states, input and parameters of stochastic continuous-discrete state-space models. The state equations must have a form of ordinary differential equations, where their discretization is performed through an efficient local-linearization scheme. Additionally, the parameter noise covariance is estimated dynamically via stochastic Robbins-Monro approximation method, and the measurement noise covariance is estimated online as well, using combination of varitional Bayesian (VB) approach with nonlinear filter/smoother. In particular, this method was designed to perform the nonlinear blind deconvolution of hemodynamic responses from fMRI data to estimate the underlying neuronal signal.
