The recursive prediction and filtering formulas of the Kalman filter are difficult to implement in nonlinear state space models. For Gaussian linear state space models, or for models with qualitative state variables, the recursive formulas of the filter require the updating of a finite number of...

We study the problem of classi¯cation for multivariate repeated measures data with struc- tured correlations on both time and spatial repeated measurements. This is a very important problem in many biomedical as well as in engineering ¯eld. Classi¯cation rules as well as the algorithm to...
