Query: Measurement-to-Track Association and Finite-Set Statistics   Multi-hypothesis trackers (MHT's), which are based on the
measurement-to-track association (MTA) concept, have long been asserted to be
"Bayes-optimal." Recently, rather bolder claims have come to the fore: "The
right model of the multitarget state is that used in the multi-hypothesis
tracker (MHT) paradigm, not the RSF [random finite set] paradigm." Or, the RFS
approach is essentially a mathematically obfuscated reinvention of MHT. In this
paper it is shown that: (a) although MTA's can be given a Bayesian formulation,
this formulation is not fully consistent with Bayesian statistics; (b)
phenomenologically, an MTA is a heuristic extrapolation of an intuitive special
case to general multitarget scenarios; (c) MTA's are, therefore, not physically
real entities and thus cannot (as with MHT's) be employed as state
representations of a multitarget system; (d) MHT's are, consequently, heuristic
approximations of the actual Bayes-optimal approach, the multitarget Bayes
filter; (d)the theoretically correct measurement modeling approach is the RSF
multitarget likelihood function L_Z(X) = f(Z|X); (f) although MTA's do occur in
f(Z|X), they are the consequence of a mere change of notation during the RFS
derivation of f(Z|X); and (g) the generalized labeled multi-Bernoulli (GLMB)
filter of Vo and Vo is currently the only provably Bayes-optimal and
computationally tractable approach for true multitarget tracking using MTA's.
