contents Recent research in nonlinear filtering and signal processing has suggested an efficient derivative-free Extended Kalman filter (EKF) designed for discrete-time stochastic systems. Such approach, however, has failed to address the estimation problem for continuous-discrete models. In this paper, we develop a novel continuous-discrete derivative-free EKF methodology by deriving the related moment differential equations (MDEs) and sample point differential equations (SPDEs). Additionally, we derive their Cholesky-based square-root MDEs and SPDEs and obtain several numerically stable derivative-free EKF methods. Finally, we propose the MATLAB-oriented implementations for all continuous-discrete derivative-free EKF algorithms derived. They are easy to implement because of the built-in fashion of the MATLAB numerical integrators utilized for solving either the MDEs or SPDEs in use, which are the ordinary differential equations (ODEs). More importantly, these are accurate derivative-free EKF implementations because any built-in MATLAB ODE solver includes the discretization error control that bounds the discretization error arisen and makes the implementation methods accurate. Besides, this is done in automatic way and no extra coding is required from users. The new filters are particularly effective for working with stochastic systems with highly nonlinear and/or nondifferentiable drift and observation functions, i.e. when the calculation of Jacobian matrices are either problematical or questionable. The performance of the novel filtering methods is demonstrated on several numerical tests.
