Claim One:
1. A system for testing a covariance fidelity of an optimal reduced state estimator (ORSE) comprising: one or more data storage devices for storing testing data; one or more computer processors in communication with the one or more data storage devices; and a memory storing program instructions which, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to: provide an optimal reduced state estimator having state variables and multidimensional time-varying parameters which are subject to known bounded values; identify a random component and a bias component of a covariance fidelity test of the optimal reduced state estimator; evaluate the random component of the covariance fidelity test at a selected epoch; evaluate the bias component of the covariance fidelity test at the selected epoch; and determine the covariance fidelity of the optimal reduced state estimator based on the evaluation of the random component of the covariance fidelity test and the evaluation of the bias component of the covariance fidelity test.
