Abstract:
Conditionally Markov (CM) sequences are powerful mathematical tools for modeling problems. One class of CM sequences is the reciprocal sequence. In application, we need not only CM dynamic models, but also know how to design model parameters. Models of two important classes of nonsingular Gaussian (NG) CM sequences, called CML and CMF models, and a model of the NG reciprocal sequence, called reciprocal CML model, were presented in our previous works and their applications were discussed. In this paper, these models are studied in more detail, in particular their parameter design. It is shown that every reciprocal CML model can be induced by a Markov model. Then, parameters of each reciprocal CML model can be obtained from those of the Markov model. Also, it is shown that an NG CML (CMF) sequence can be represented by a sum of an NG Markov sequence and an uncorrelated NG vector. This (necessary and sufficient) representation provides a basis for designing parameters of a CML (CMF) model. From the CM viewpoint, a representation is also obtained for NG reciprocal sequences. This representation is simple and reveals an important property of reciprocal sequences. As a result, the significance of studying reciprocal sequences from the CM viewpoint is demonstrated. A full spectrum of dynamic models from a CML model to a reciprocal CML model is also presented. Some examples are presented for illustration.
