Like [[Function parametrization]] (FP), this technique requires having a ''forward model'' to predict the measurement readings for any given state of the physical system; however | Like [[Function parametrization]] (FP), this technique requires having a ''forward model'' to predict the measurement readings for any given state of the physical system; however | ||
* instead of computing an estimate of the inverse of the forward model (as with FP), IDA finds the best model state corresponding to a specific measurement by a maximization procedure (maximization of the likelihood); | * instead of computing an estimate of the inverse of the forward model (as with FP), IDA finds the best model state corresponding to a specific measurement by a maximization procedure (maximization of the likelihood); | ||

The maximization process is CPU intensive, so that Bayesian analysis is not suited for real-time data analysis (unlike FP). | |||
