    Abstract

    MAP estimation is a good alternative to MMSE for certain applications involving nonlinear non Gaussian systems. Recently a new particle filter based MAP estimator has been derived. This new method extracts the MAP directly from the output of a running particle filter. In the recent past, a Viterbi algorithm based MAP sequence estimator has been developed. In this paper, we compare these two methods for estimating the current state and the numerical results show that the former performs better.
