[docs]class AlphaBetaUpdater(Updater): r"""Conceptually, the :math:`\alpha-\beta` filter is similar to its Kalman cousins in that it operates recursively over predict and update steps. It assumes that a state vector is decomposable into quantities and the rates of change of those quantities. We refer to these as position :math:`p` and velocity :math:`v` respectively, though they aren't confined to locations in space. If the interval from :math:`t_{k-1} \rightarrow t_k` is :math:`\Delta T`, and at :math:`k`, we can gain a (noisy) measurement of the position, :math:`p^z_k`. The recursion proceeds as: * Predict .. math:: p_{k|k-1} &= p_{k-1} + \Delta T v_{k-1} v_{k|k-1} &= v_{k-1} * Update .. math:: s_k &= p^z_k - p_{k|k-1} \: (\mathrm{innovation}) p_k &= p_{k|k-1} + \alpha s_k v_k &= v_{k|k-1} + \frac{\beta}{\Delta T} s_k The :math:`\alpha` and :math:`\beta` parameters which give the filter its name are small, :math:`0 < \alpha < 1` and :math:`0 < \beta \leq 2`. Colloquially, the larger the values of the parameters, the more influence the measurements have over the transition model; :math:`\beta` is usually much smaller than :math:`\alpha`. As the prediction is just the application of a constant velocity model, there is no :math:`\alpha-\beta` predictor provided in Stone Soup. It is assumed that the predictions passed to the hypothesis have been generated by a constant velocity model. Any application of a control model is also assumed to have taken place during the prediction stage. This class assumes the velocity is in units of the length per second. If different units are required, scale the prior appropriately. The measurement model used should be linear and a measurement model such that it provides a 'mapping' to :math:`p` via the :attr:`mapping` tuple and a binary measurement matrix which returns :math:`p`. This isn't checked. """ alpha: float = Property(doc="The alpha parameter. Controls the weight given to the " "measurements over the transition model.") beta: float = Property(doc="The beta parameter.
