Received 28 August 2005; Accepted 9 November 2005 Recommended for Publication by Marc Moonen We have found an error in the proof of Lemma 1 presented in our paper “A New Class of Particle Filters for Random Dynamic Systems with Unknown Statistics” (EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing, 2004). In the sequel, we provide a restatement of the lemma and a corrected (and simpler) proof. We emphasize that the original result in the said paper still holds true. The only difference with the new statement is the relaxation of condition (3), which becomes less restrictive. Copyright © 2006 Hindawi Publishing Corporation. All rights reserved.

Lemma 1 in [1] should be as follows.

Lemma 1. Let {xt(i) }M i=1 be a set of particles drawn at time t using the propagation pdf ptM (x), let y1:t be a fixed bounded sequence of observations, let ΔC(x | yt ) ≥ 0 be a continuous opt cost function, bounded in S{xt , ε}, with a minimum at x = opt (i) M xt , and let μt : A ⊆ {xt }i=1 → [0, ∞) be a set function defined as
