	%X Linear stochastic estimation and quadratic stochastic
estimation techniques were applied to estimate the entire velocity
flow-field of an open cavity with a length to depth ratio of 2. The
estimations were done through the use of instantaneous velocity
magnitude as estimators. These measurements were obtained by
Particle Image Velocimetry. The predicted flow was compared
against the original flow-field in terms of the Reynolds stresses and
turbulent kinetic energy. Quadratic stochastic estimation proved to be
more superior than linear stochastic estimation in resolving the shear
layer flow. When the velocity fluctuations were scaled up in the
quadratic estimate, both the time-averaged quantities and the
instantaneous cavity flow can be predicted to a rather accurate extent.
