Abstract: The paper presents a data and program structure that makes it easier to implement a nonlinear process or measurement model when using the extended Kalman filter. This is achieved by a composite data type containing both the estimated value and covariance information. The basic operators ( +, -, *, /) and common functions are implemented for this data type. These enable a model for the extended Kalman filter to be implemented as easily as a discrete-time simulation model.
