Description
Bayesian Methods in the Search for MH370 provides an in-depth exploration of how nonlinear/non-Gaussian Bayesian time series estimation methods were used to estimate the probability distribution of potential MH370 flight paths. The book delves into the construction and calibration of probabilistic models incorporating aircraft flight dynamics, satellite communication system measurements, environmental effects, and radar data. These models were crucial in defining the search zone in the southern Indian Ocean. The authors also discuss the particle-filter based numerical calculation of the aircraft flight-path probability distribution, validating the method using data from several previous flights. The impact of the Reunion Island flaperon debris find on the search probability distribution is also examined.
