Algorithms and statistical analysis for linear structured weighted total least squares problem

Weighted total least squares(WTLS)have been regarded as the standard tool for the errors-in-variables(EIV)model in which all the elements in the observation vector and the coefficient matrix are contaminated with random errors.However,in many geodetic applications,some elements are error-free and some random observations appear repeatedly in different positions in the augmented coefficient matrix.It is called the linear structured EIV(LSEIV)model.Two kinds of methods are proposed for the LSEIV model from functional and stochastic modifications.On the one hand,the functional part of the LSEIV model is modified into the errors-in-observations(EIO)model.On the other hand,the stochastic model is modified by applying the Moore-Penrose inverse of the cofactor matrix.The algorithms are derived through the Lagrange multipliers method and linear approximation.The estimation principles and iterative formula of the parameters are proven to be consistent.The first-order approximate variance-covariance matrix(VCM)of the parameters is also derived.A numerical example is given to compare the performances of our proposed three algorithms with the STLS approach.Afterwards,the least squares(LS),total least squares(TLS)and linear structured weighted total least squares(LSWTLS)solutions are compared and the accuracy evaluation formula is proven to be feasible and effective.Finally,the LSWTLS is applied to the field of deformation analysis,which yields a better result than the traditional LS and TLS estimations.

Novel passive localization algorithm based on weighted restricted total least square

A novel multi-observer passive localization algorithm based on the weighted restricted total least square （WRTLS） is proposed to solve the bearings-only localization problem in the presence of observer position errors. Firstly, the unknown matrix perturbation information is utilized to form the WRTLS problem. Then, the corresponding constrained optimization problem is transformed into an unconstrained one, which is a generalized Rayleigh quotient minimization problem. Thus, the solution can be got through the generalized eigenvalue decomposition and requires no initial state guess process. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can approach the Cramer-Rao lower bound （CRLB）, and the localization solution is asymptotically unbiased.

Properties of the total least squares estimation

Through theoretical derivation, some properties of the total least squares estimation are found. The total least squares estimation is the linear transformation of the least squares estimation, and the total least squares estimation is unbiased. The condition number of the total least squares estimation is greater than the least squares estimation, so the total least squares estimation is easier to be affected by the data error than the least squares estimation. Then through the further derivation, the relationships of solutions, residuals and unit weight variance estimations between the total least squares and the least squares are given.

Total least-squares EIO model,algorithms and applications

A functional model named EIO(Errors-In-Observations) is proposed for general TLS(total least-squares)adjustment. The EIO model only considers the correction of the observation vector, but doesn't consider to correct all elements in the design matrix as the EIV(Errors-In-Variables) model does, furthermore, the dimension of cofactor matrix is much smaller. Iterative algorithms for the parameter estimation and their precise covariance matrix are derived rigorously, and the computation steps are also presented. The proposed approach considers the correction of the observations in the coefficient matrix, and ensures their agreements in every matrix elements. Parameters and corrections can be solved at the same time.An approximate solution and a precise solution of the covariance matrix can be achieved by corresponding algorithms. Applications of EIO model and the proposed algorithms are demonstrated with several examples. The results and comparative studies show that the proposed EIO model and algorithms are feasible and reliable for general adjustment problems.

An iterative algorithm of NWTLS-EC for three dimensional-datum transformation with large rotation angle

The Gauss-Markov （GM） model and the Errors-in-Variables （EIV） model are frequently used to perform 3D coordinate transformations in geodesy and engineering surveys. In these applications, because the observation errors in original coordinates system are also taken into account, the latter is more accurate and reasonable than the former. Although the Weighted Total Least Squares （WTLS） technique has been intro- duced into coordinate transformations as the measured points are heteroscedastic and correlated, the Variance- Covariance Matrix （VCM） of observations is restricted by a particular structure, namely, only the correlations of each points are taken into account. Because the 3D datum transformation with large rotation angle is a non- linear problem, the WTLS is no longer suitable in this ease. In this contribution, we suggested the nonlinear WTLS adjustments with equality constraints （NWTLS-EC） for 3D datum transformation with large rotation an- gle, which removed the particular structure restriction on the VCM. The Least Squares adjustment with Equality （LSE） constraints is employed to solve NWTLS-EC as the nonlinear model has been linearized, and an iterative algorithm is proposed with the LSE solution. A simulation study of 3D datum transformation with large rotation angle is given to insight into the feasibility of our algorithm at last.

Robust structured total least squares algorithm for passive location

A new approach called the robust structured total least squares(RSTLS) algorithm is described for solving location inaccuracy caused by outliers in the single-observer passive location. It is built within the weighted structured total least squares(WSTLS)framework and improved based on the robust estimation theory.Moreover, the improved Danish weight function is proposed according to the robust extremal function of the WSTLS, so that the new algorithm can detect outliers based on residuals and reduce the weights of outliers automatically. Finally, the inverse iteration method is discussed to deal with the RSTLS problem. Simulations show that when outliers appear, the result of the proposed algorithm is still accurate and robust, whereas that of the conventional algorithms is distorted seriously.
