Unscented Kalman filter implementation?

cgrudz opened this issue · comments

I was wondering if there are any current plans to implement the unscented Kalman filter for comparison with other ensemble-based methods. I am planning on using DAPPER with stats, maths and engineering students in a DA class and I think the implementation of the UKF would be nice for the engineering students to see a method that is also familiar in a lot of mechanical and electrical engineering literature. Having a relevant comparison on standard benchmarks would also be nice in order to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this approach versus other ensemble-based schemes like ETKF.

I have been wanting to do this for a long time, especially including comparisons. I could try to get to it this next week, at least some variant of it. I think I'd do comparisons for a Lorenz model, or possibly the KS model, seeing as that one has some engineering applications too. What do you think?
