Abstract
The method that is proposed in the present paper is a special case of squared
M
split
estimation. It concerns a direct estimation of the shift between the parameters of
the functional models of geodetic observations. The shift in question may result from, for
example, deformation of a geodetic network or other non-random disturbances that may
influence coordinates of the network points. The paper also presents the example where
such shift is identified with a phase displacement of a wave. The shift is estimated on the
basis of wave observations and without any knowledge where such displacement took place.
The estimates of the shift that are proposed in the paper are named Shift-
M
split
estimators.
