If I really needed a Kalman filter I'm sure I could read this, or the Wikipedia page, or an implementation's source code (https://github.com/LdDl/kalman-rs/blob/master/src/kalman/kalman_1d.rs https://github.com/LdDl/kalman-rs/blob/master/src/kalman/kal...) and figure it out.
But IME everyone in the entire world is a "visual learner" who learns best by examples. So I'm surprised that the tutorial midway through the page doesn't put any example numbers into the formulas (maybe I glanced over it?) and the pictures only start after a page of "what is a Kalman filter" text, and the pictures are just of more formulas.
- the__alchemist 3y agoAnother comment pointed out variable naming conventions as an obstacle to learning and understanding mathematical topics. I am sympathetic to that perspective, but even more so to this one you post. I am astounded by how common this is. A weaker form of this exists in software libraries that don't include code examples.
