Best integer equivariant position estimation for multi-GNSS RTK: A multivariate normal and t-distributed performance comparison

The best integer equivariant (BIE) estimator for the multivariate t-distribution was introduced in Teunissen (J Geod, 2020. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00190-020-01407-2), where it was shown that the BIE-weights will be different from that of the normal distribution. In this contribution, we analyze these BIE estimators while making use of multi...

Best integer equivariant estimation for elliptically contoured distributions

This contribution extends the theory of integer equivariant estimation (Teunissen in J Geodesy 77:402–410, 2003) by developing the principle of best integer equivariant (BIE) estimation for the class of elliptically contoured distributions. The presented theory provides new minimum mean squared error solutions to the problem of GNSS carrier...
