Here's an example of how to use the newton_raphson function to find the root of the function f(x) = x^3 - x^2 + 2: % Define the function f(x) and its derivative df(x) as function handles f = @(x) x^3 ...

Abstract: The classical Newton-Raphson method is generalized to solve nonsquare and nonlinear problems of size m/spl times/n with m/spl les/n. Using this generalized Newton-Raphson method as a core, a ...

Abstract: In this paper, improved divided difference filter, which will be called IDDF for brevity, is proposed for target tracking with nonlinear observation models. The new algorithm is derived from ...

Let be one of the likelihood functions described in the previous subsections. Let . Finding such that is maximized is equivalent to finding the solution to the likelihood equations With as the initial ...
