Abstract

In this contribution, we consider an expectation conditional maximization either (ECME) algorithm for the purpose of estimating the parameters of a linear observation model with time-dependent autoregressive (AR) errors. The degree of freedom (d.o.f.) of the underlying family of scaled t-distributions, which is used to account for outliers and heavy-tailedness of the white noise components, is adapted to the data, resulting in a self-tuning robust estimator. The time variability of the AR coefficients is described by a second linear model. We improve the estimation of the d.o.f. in a previous version of the ECME algorithm, which involves a zero search, by using an interval Newton method. We model the transient oscillations of a shaker table measured by a high-accuracy accelerometer, and we analyze various criteria for selecting a simultaneously parsimonious and realistic time-variability model.
