ABSTRACT

The problem of optimal estimation of the linear functionals and depending on the unknown values of stochastic process ξ(t), t ∈ R, with stationary nth increments from observations of the process at points t < 0 is considered. Formulas for calculating the mean square error and the spectral characteristic of optimal linear estimates of the functionals are derived in the case where the spectral density of the process is exactly known. Formulas that determine the least favorable spectral densities and the minimax (robust) spectral characteristic of the optimal linear estimates of the functionals are proposed in the case where the spectral density of the process is not exactly known, but a set of admissible spectral densities is given.
