Robust Onboard Orbit Determination Through Error Kalman Filtering by Michele Ceresoli, Andrea Colagrossi, Stefano Silvestrini, Michèle Lavagna

“…Accurate and robust on-board orbit determination is essential for enabling autonomous spacecraft operations, particularly in scenarios where ground control is limited or unavailable. This paper presents a novel method for achieving robust on-board orbit determination by integrating a loosely coupled GNSS/INS architecture with an on-board orbit propagator through error Kalman filtering. …”

An Empirical Study on Relationship between Residents’ Disposable Income and CPI Based on TVECM: Application of Bootstrap SupLM Testing for Threshold Cointegration by Jungang Du

“…The asymptotic distribution of the SupLM statistic is analyzed, and it appears to depend on the moment functionals, so tabulated critical values are unavailable. We discuss how the residual bootstrap can be used to calculate asymptotic critical values and p values, investigate the size and power of the SupLM test using Monte Carlo simulation, and find that the test works quite well. …”
