Description: Each of J items has a characteristic Signature which varies in time. At time 0, the value of a      Signature and the identity of the corresponding item are known. No further values of      Signatures are observed until a later time t. At time t, a Signature from an unknown item is      observed. The problem is to estimate the identity of the item whose Signature is observed at      time t. The estimation procedure studied is to estimate the identity of the unknown item to be      that one which maximizes the posterior probability of producing the observed Signature.
