    i dont suppose anyone here could help me with some homework i need to do for my uni course. the only question ive been unable to do is the following:

    You are given two data points 10 samples apart y(10)=8.1 and y(0)=12 but you know that the underlying model is y(n)=ay(n-1)+b. Given that the asymptotic value for y is 7.6, compute b (to 2 d.p.).

    i kinda need the answer fairly quickly so if you are able then please reply and i will be extreamly gratefull :D

    Work it out for your self, if you didn't know it you should've asked your lecturer earlier on. :p

    Not sure I can explain it too well, it's been a while, but I can throw a few vague formulas at you. :blah:

    y(n) = ay(n-1) + b

    => e^n = Ae^(n-1) + B (B = e^b) ?
    => Aaaargh, balls. I can't remember without looking at my notes. Which, I'm sorry, is too much hassle.

    GL anyway, hehe.
