Drought is a serious problem that often arises during the dry season. Hydrometeorologically, drought is caused by reduced rainfall in a certain period. Therefore, it is necessary to take the latest actions that can overcome this problem. This research aims to predict the potential for a drought to occur again in the Kupang City, Indonesia by developing a rainfall forecasting model. Incomplete daily local climate data for Kupang City is an obstacle in this analysis of rainfall forecasting. Data correction was then carried out through imputed missing values using the Kalman Filter method with Arima State-Space model. The Kalman Filter and Arima State-Space model (2,1,1) produces the best missing data imputation with a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.930. The rainfall forecasting process is carried out using Statistical Downscaling with the Principal Component Regression (PCR) model that considers global atmospheric circulation from the Global Circular Model (GCM). The results showed that the PCR model obtained was quite good with a Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) value of 2.81%. This model is used to predict the daily rainfall of Kupang City by utilizing GCM data.

The ability to predict wind speeds is very important for the security and stability of wind farms and power system operations. Wind speeds typically vary slowly over time, which makes them difficult to forecast. In this study, a hybrid nonlinear estimation approach combining Gaussian process (GP) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is proposed to predict dynamic changes of wind speed and improve forecasting accuracy. The proposed approach can provide both point and interval predictions for wind speed. Firstly, the GP method is established as the nonlinear transition function of a state space model, and the covariance obtained from the GP predictive model is used as the process noise. Secondly, UKF is used to solve the state space model and update the initial prediction of short-term wind speed. The proposed hybrid approach can adjust dynamically in conjunction with the distribution changes. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed hybrid approach, the persistence model, GP model, autoregressive (AR) model, and AR integrated with Kalman filter (KF) model are used to predict the results for comparison. Taking two wind farms in China and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) database as the experimental data, the results show that the proposed hybrid approach is suitable for wind speed predictions, and that it can increase forecasting accuracy.

In the folklore of emerging markets, there is a popular belief that bubbles are inevitable. In this paper, our objective is to estimate a state-space model for rational bubbles in selected Asian economies with the aid of the Kalman Filter. For each economy, we derive a possible picture of the bubble formation process that is implied by the state-space formulation. The estimation is based on the rational valuation formula for stock prices. Our results provide a possible way of defining the presence of rational bubbles in the stock markets of Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, and Malaysia.

A method based on projection filters is presented for identifying an open-loop stochastic system with an existing feedback controller. The projection filters are derived from the relationship between the state-space model and the AutoRegressive with eXogeneous input (ARX) model including the system, Kalman filter and controller. Two ARX models are identified from the control input, closed-loop system response and feedback signal using least-squares method. Markov parameters of the open-loop system, Kalman filter and controller are then calculated from the coefficients of the identified ARX models. Finally, the state-space model of the open-loop stochastic system and the gain matrices for the Kalman filter and controller are realized. The method is validated by simulations and test data from an unstable large-angle magnetic suspension test facility.

This paper reports on the potential application of interval Kalman filtering techniques in the design of a navigation system for an uninhabited surface vehicle namedSpringer. The interval Kalman filter (IKF) is investigated for this task since it has had limited exposure for such usage. A state-space model of theSpringersteering dynamics is used to provide a framework for the application of the Kalman filter (KF) and IKF algorithms for estimating the heading angle of the vessel under erroneous modelling assumptions. Simulations reveal several characteristics of the IKF, which are then discussed, and a review of the work undertaken to date presented and explained in the light of these characteristics, with suggestions on potential future improvements.
