Abstract

This paper studies selecting a subset of the system's output to minimize the state estimation mean square error (MSE). This results in the maximization problem of a set function defined on possible sensor selections subject to a cardinality constraint. We consider to solve it approximately by a greedy search. Since the MSE function is not submodular nor supermodular, the well-known performance guarantees for the greedy solutions do not hold in the present case. Thus, we use the quantities - the submodularity ratio and the curvature - to evaluate the degrees of submodularity and supermodularity of the objective function. By using the properties of the MSE function, we approximately compute these quantities and derive a performance guarantee for the greedy solutions. It is shown that the guarantee is less conservative than those in the existing results.
