We consider the problem of choosing a set of k sensor measurements, from a set or m possible or potential sensor measurements, that minimizes the error in estimating some parameters. Solving this problem by evaluating the performance for each of the ((m)(k)) possible choices or sensor measurements is not practical unless m and k are small. In this paper, we describe a heuristic, based on convex optimization, for approximately solving this problem. Our heuristic gives a subset selection as well as a bound on the best performance that can be achieved by any selection of k sensor measurements. There is no guarantee that the gal) between the performance of the chosen subset and the performance bound is always small, but numerical experiments suggest that the gap is small in many cases. Our heuristic method requires on the order of m(3) operations; for m = 1000 possible sensors, we can carry out sensor selection in a few seconds on a 2-GHz personal computer.
