Degradation in Source Location Accuracy in the Presence of Sensor Location Error

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the concepts of Mean Squared Error (MSE) and theoretical MSE in the context of source localization accuracy, particularly when sensor location errors are present. The original poster is seeking clarification on these terms, as well as on Taylor series estimation and modified Taylor series. They express difficulty in grasping these concepts despite having been provided with relevant articles. Other participants encourage sharing additional resources and offer to help explain the basics in simpler terms. The conversation highlights the need for foundational knowledge in source localization and error analysis.

Hi guys, i was given a project based on the above topic and i know very little on it. Can anyone help to explain what's the difference between MSE and therotical MSE. Taylor series estimation and the modified taylor series. Thanks

Thx. Basically i was given some articles to read on and was having a hard time understanding the basic concepts on source localizaion. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1661121&isnumber=34760" is 1 example of an article on the topic. I am in serious need of help for some basic understanding. Really would appreciate someone who can explain in layman terms.

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
