Optimal linear estimation fusion. Part V. Relationships

For pt.IV see proc. 2001 International Conf on Information Fusion. .In this paper, we continue our study of optimal linear estimation fusion in. a unified, general, and systematic setting. We clarify relationships among various BLUE and WLS fusion rules with complete, incomplete, and no prior information presented in Part I before; and we quantify the effect of prior information and data on fusion performance, including conditions under which prior information or data are redundant.
