The Weineret-Desai smoother formula is applied to derive new decentralized fixed-interval smoothing algorithms for a decentralized estimation structure consisting of a central processor and of M local processors. Such algorithms are based on decentralizing the estimates of global backward information filter and obtained from the use of the superposition principle in scattering framework. The smoothing update problem is also investigated to illustrate the application of the proposed algorithms. The emphasis is on computational efficiency, independence of local a priori statistics, and flexibility of implementation.

Neural signal decoding is a critical technology in brain machine interface (BMI) to interpret movement intention from multi-neural activity collected from paralyzed patients. As a commonly-used decoding algorithm, the Kalman filter is often applied to derive the movement states from high-dimensional neural firing observation. However, its performance is limited and less effective for noisy nonlinear neural systems with high-dimensional measurements. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear maximum correntropy information filter, aiming at better state estimation in the filtering process for a noisy high-dimensional measurement system. We reconstruct the measurement model between the high-dimensional measurements and low-dimensional states using the neural network, and derive the state estimation using the correntropy criterion to cope with the non-Gaussian noise and eliminate large initial uncertainty. Moreover, analyses of convergence and robustness are given. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by applying it on multiple segments of neural spiking data from two rats to interpret the movement states when the subjects perform a two-lever discrimination task. Our results demonstrate better and more robust state estimation performance when compared with other filters.

In this paper, a theoretical comparison between existing the sigma-point information filter (SPIF) framework and the unscented information filter (UIF) framework is presented. It is shown that the SPIF framework is identical to the sigma-point Kalman filter (SPKF). However, the UIF framework is not identical to the classical SPKF due to the neglect of one-step prediction errors of measurements in the calculation of state estimation error covariance matrix. Thus SPIF framework is more reasonable as compared with UIF framework. According to the theoretical comparison, an improved cubature information filter (CIF) is derived based on the superior SPIF framework. Square-root CIF (SRCIF) is also developed to improve the numerical accuracy and stability of the proposed CIF. The proposed SRCIF is applied to a target tracking problem with large sampling interval and high turn rate, and its performance is compared with the existing SRCIF. The results show that the proposed SRCIF is more reliable and stable as compared with the existing SRCIF. Note that it is impractical for information filters in large-scale applications due to the enormous computational complexity of large-scale matrix inversion, and advanced techniques need to be further considered.
