\brief Application Estimator

The general task of estimation is defined on the following scheme:
\dot
digraph estimation{
        node [shape=box];
        {rank="same"; "Data Source"; "Bayesian Model"}
        "Data Source" -> "Bayesian Model" [label="data"];
        "Bayesian Model" -> "Result Logger" [label="estimated\n statistics"];
        "Data Source" -> "Result Logger" [label="Simulated\n data"];
}
\enddot

Here,
\li Data Source is an object (class DS) providing sequential data, \f$ [d_1, d_2, \ldots d_t] \f$.
\li Bayesian Model is an object (class BM) performing Bayesian filtering,
\li Result Logger is an object (class logger) dedicated to storing important data from the experiment.

\section  cmd Command-line usage
Execute command:
\code
$> estimator config_file.cfg
\endcode

Full description of the experiment is in the file config_file.cfg which is expected to have the following structure:
\code
system = {type = "DS_offspring", ...};      // definition of a data source
estimator = {type = "BM_offspring", ...};   // definition of an estimator
logger = {type = "logger_type",...};        // definition of a logger
experiment = {ndat = 11000; };              // definition of number of data records
\endcode

The above description must be specialized to specific classes. See, \subpage arx_ui how to do it for estimation of an ARX model.

\section ex Matlab usage
Execute command:
\code
>> estimator('config_file.cfg');
\endcode
when using loggers storing results on hard drives, and
\code
>> Res=estimator('config_file.cfg');
\endcode
when using logger of the type \c "mex_logger". The results will be stored in structure \c M.
