Abstract:

A relationship between differential geometry and estimation theory was lacking until the work of

Bates and Watts in the context of nonlinear parameter estimation. They used differential

geometry based curvature measures of nonlinearity (CMoN), namely, the parameter-effects and

intrinsic curvatures to quantify the degree of nonlinearity of a general multi-dimensional

nonlinear parameter estimation problem. However, they didn’t establish a relationship between

CMoN and the curvature in differential geometry. We consider a polynomial curve in two

dimensions and for the first time show analytically and through Monte Carlo simulations that

affine mappings with positive slopes exist among the logarithm of the curvature in differential

geometry, Bates and Watts CMoN, and mean square error.
