Stochastic processes in estimation theory

We describe the role of various stochastic processes, especially martingales and related concepts, in estimation theory. It is shown, in the simplest context, that in nonlinear estimation theory martingales play the same fundamental role as uncorrelation and white noise do in linear estimation.
