Abstract:
Recursive state and parameter reconstruction is a well-established field in control theory. In the current paper we derive a continuous-discrete version of recursive prediction error algorithm and apply the filter in an environmental and biological setting as a possible alternative to the well-known extended Kalman filter. The framework from which the derivation is started is the so-called 'innovations-format' of the (continuous time) system model, including (discrete time) measurements. After the algorithm has been motivated and derived, it is subsequently applied to hypothetical and 'real-life' case studies including reconstruction of biokinetic parameters and parameters characterizing the dynamics of a river in the United Kingdom. Advantages and characteristics of the method are discussed.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
