Abstract: |
A numerical algorithm is proposed to compute Cramér-Rao-type bounds. The Cramér-Rao-type bounds are derived from information matrices of marginals of the joint pdf of the system at hand. The key ingredient is message-passing on a factor graph of the system. The method can be applied to a wide class of estimation problems. As an illustration, the problem of estimating the parameters of an AR model is considered. |
