Hi, I am trying to implement an unscented kalman filter, as described here: http://cslu.cse.ogi.edu/nsel/ukf/node6.html My problem is with equation 18 - What does the multiplication mean? As far as I understand, the first (Yi - y^) is a row vector, and the second one is a column vector, therefore this is a dot product. But then the result of the expression inside the sigma is a scalar, and Pyy is supposed to be a matrix. I also tried to interpret this as a vector direct product (column vector multiplied by a row vector), the result is a matrix but I get bad results when trying to update the covariance matrix. Help, please... Thanks, Hagai.

Hagai, The latter case is correct: a column vector ( n-by-1 ) multiplied by its transpose or a row vector ( 1-by-n ), resulting in an n-by-n matrix. What method are you using to calculate the matrix square-root? Michael. --- frmsrcurl: http://compgroups.net/comp.dsp/Unscented-kalman-filter-math-question,2
