abstract

  • In state estimation, the covariance matrix of residuals is used to compute the normalized residuals and to detect erroneous measurements. This paper describes a method based on sensitivity analysis that allows computing the residual covariance matrix. The proposed method is estimator-independent, i.e., it is suitable for most solution approaches based on mathematical programming procedures. Several case studies illustrate the technique proposed. Relevant conclusions are finally drawn.
