Abstract

This paper is concerned with the analysis of the linear modely(n)=Xβ(n)+S(n)+γ(n) for the data sequencey(n) (n=1, 2, ..., N) whereX={x IJ} is a knownJ × M matrix of full rankM. Here, theβ(n) are unknown vectors, which we wish to estimate for eachn; S(n) (n=1, 2, ..., N) is a periodic component (which we wish to estimate or remove) superimposed on the linear structureXβ(n); andγ(n) is an error vector which is specified as having zero expectation (with possible further properties). Such models commonly occur in geophysical data analysis.
