Abstract
An algorithm is developed for the design of a nonlinear, n-sensor, dis tributed estimation system subject to communication and computation co nstraints. The algorithm uses only bivariate probability distributions and yields locally optimal estimators that satisfy the required syste m constraints. It is shown that the algorithm is a generalization of t he classical Lloyd-Max results.
