Abstract representation (or equivalently in the Kalman filter)
In this paper we study scaling rules and round-off may be associated either with the Levinson recursions

that uses the so-called fast Kalman gain algorithm. The latter association leads to a fixed-point algorithm
The algorithm for the gain is fixed point. Scaling puting Kalman gains. This so-called fast
