Prediction problem for continuous time stochastic processes with periodically correlated increments observed with noise

Abstract

We propose solution of the problem of the mean square optimal estimation of linear functionals which depend on the unobserved values of a continuous time stochastic process with periodically correlated increments based on observations of this process with periodically stationary noise. To solve the problem, we transform the processes to the sequences of stochastic functions which form an infinite dimensional vector stationary sequences. In the case of known spectral densities of these sequences, we obtain formulas for calculating values of the mean square errors and the spectral characteristics of the optimal estimates of the functionals. Formulas determining the least favorable spectral densities and the minimax (robust) spectral characteristics of the optimal linear estimates of functionals are derived in the case where the sets of admissible spectral densities are given.
