Bayesian Methods in the Search for MH370

Number of pages: 114
Description:
This book demonstrates how nonlinear/non-Gaussian Bayesian time series estimation methods were used to produce a probability distribution of potential MH370 flight paths. It provides details of how the probabilistic models of aircraft flight dynamics, satellite communication system measurements, environmental effects and radar data were constructed and calibrated. The probability distribution was used to define the search zone in the southern Indian Ocean.

This book uses an index map, a polynomial decomposition, an operator factorization, and a conversion to a filter to develop a very general description of fast algorithms to calculate the discrete Fourier transform. Computer programs are provided.
