This paper presents an alternative adaptive filtering design based on the minimum symbol error rate （MSER） criterion for communication applications. It is shown that the MSER filtering is smarter, as it exploits the non-Gaussian distribution of filter output effectively. Consequently, it provides significant performance gain in terms of smaller symbol error over the MMSE approach. Adopting Parzen window or kernel density estimation for a probability density function, a block-data gradient adaptive MSER algorithm is derived. A stochastic gradient adaptive MSER algorithm, referred to as the least symbol error rate, is further developed for sample-by-sample adaptive implementation of the MSER filtering. Two applications, involving single-user channel equalization and beamforming assisted receiver, are included to demonstrate the effectiveness and generality of the proposed adaptive MSER filtering approach.展开更多

In this way, the phase offsets due to frequency shift are linear. Based on this premise, the compensation processes are： firstly, the phase offsets between the baseband neighbor-symbols after clock recovery is unbiasedly estimated among the reference symbols; then, the receiving signals symbols are adjusted by the phase estimation value; finally, the phase offsets after adjusting are compensated by the least mean squares （LMS） algorithm. In order to express the compensation processes and ability clearly, the quadrature phase shift keying （QPSK） modulation signals are regarded as examples for Matlab simulation. BER simulations are carried out using the Monte-Carlo method. The learning curves are obtained to study the algorithm＇s convergence ability. The constellation figures are also simulated to observe the compensation results directly.展开更多

This pa-per proposes a method of using self-location for calibrating the positions of observer stations in source localization to reduce the errors of the observer positions and improve the accuracy of the source localization.

The results of computer si-mulations prove the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. With the general estimation errors of observers＇ positions, the MSE of the source localization with self-location calibration, which is significantly lower than that without self-location calibra-tion, is approximating to the Cramer-Rao lower bound （CRLB）.展开更多

A simple yet effec- tive solution to this problem is presented by designing a channel extrapolator relying on Karhunen-Loeve （KL） expansion of time- varying channels. In this scheme, channel estimation is done at the base station （BS） rather than at the user terminal （UT）, which thereby dispenses the channel parameters feedback from the UT to the BS. Moreover, the inherent channel correlation and the parsimonious parameterization properties of the KL expan- sion are respectively exploited to reduce the channel mismatch error and the computational complexity. Simulations show that the presented scheme outperforms conventional schemes in terms of both channel estimation mean square error （MSE） and ergodic capacity.展开更多

Utilizing the limited sensor measurements, the entire structure response can be estimated based on the system equivalent reduction-expansion process(SEREP) method. In order to compare the capability of capturing the structural vibration response with other optimal sensor placement(OSP) methods, the effective independence(EI) method, modal kinetic energy(MKE) method and modal assurance criterion(MAC) method, were also investigated. A statistical criterion, root mean square error(RMSE), was employed to assess the magnitude of the estimation error between the real response and the estimated response. For investigating the effectiveness and accuracy of the above OSP methods, a 31-bar truss structure is introduced as a simulation example. The analysis results show that both the maximum and mean of the RMSE value obtained from the EEM method are smaller than those from other OSP methods, which indicates that the optimal sensor configuration obtained from the EEM method can provide a more accurate estimation of the entire structure response compared with the EI, MKE and MAC methods.展开更多

We propose an approach that does not require initialization of the sufficient unknown distribution parameters. The approach is motivated by linearizing the Gaussian distribution through differential techniques, and estimating, μ and σ2 as regression coefficients using the ordinary least squares method. Two simulated datasets on hereditary traits and morphometric analysis of housefly strains are used to evaluate the proposed method (PM), the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), and the method of moments (MM). The methods are evaluated by re-estimating the required Gaussian parameters on both large and small samples. The root mean squared error (RMSE), mean error (ME), and the standard deviation (SD) are used to assess the accuracy of the PM and MLE;confidence intervals (CIs) are also constructed for the ME estimate. The PM compares well with both the MLE and MM approaches as they all produce estimates whose errors have good asymptotic properties, also small CIs are observed for the ME using the PM and MLE. The PM can be used symbiotically with the MLE to provide initial approximations at the expectation maximization step.展开更多

The VRI-MMSE method is employed to interrogate cavity lengths of the sensor under different temperatures ranging from 28°C to 1000°C. It eliminates the ＂mode jumping＂ problem in the FFT-MMSE method and obtains a precision of 4.8 nm, corresponding to a temperature resolution of 2.0°C over a range of 1000°C. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method provides a promising, high precision alternative for demodulating fiber-optic F-P sensors.展开更多

文摘In practical parameter estimation,we have always chosen either Least Squares Estimation(LSE) or Robust Estimation.Since the distribution of observations is unknown,to select a correct estimation method is very difficult.It is well known that if observations include gross errors,the result of LSE will be badly containinated.On the other hand,if observations do not include any gross errors,the result of robust estimation is not as good as that of LSE.To solve this problem,Wang (1999) developed an estimation method called Information Spread Estimation (ISE) based on the information spread principle.The ISE is a very good method for estimating one parameter which is very robust.However, most of instances in surveying data processing are multi_parameters’ estimation,owing to the inherent restrictions of ISE,it can not be applied to the surveying data processing directly.To apply the good method to the field of surveying data processing widely,the author has done the research deeply.This paper applies ISE successfully to the adjustment of leveling network by using the specialties of leveling.

文摘We considered the following semiparametric regres-sion model yi = X iT β+ s ( t i ) + ei (i =1,2,,n). First,the general-ized ridge estimators of both parameters and non-parameters are given without a restrained design matrix. Second,the generalized ridge estimator will be compared with the penalized least squares estimator under a mean squares error,and some conditions in which the former excels the latter are given. Finally,the validity and feasibility of the method is illustrated by a simulation example.
文摘In optical techniques,noise signal is a classical problem in medical image processing.Recently,there has been considerable interest in using the wavelet transform with Bayesian estimation as a powerful tool for recovering image from noisy data.In wavelet domain,if Bayesian estimator is used for denoising problem,the solution requires a prior knowledge about the distribution of wavelet coeffcients.Indeed,wavelet coeffcients might be better modeled by super Gaussian density.The super Gaussian density can be generated by Gaussian scale mixture(GSM).So,we present new minimum mean square error(MMSE)estimator for spherically-contoured GSM with Maxwell distribution in additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN).We compare our proposed method to current state-of-the-art method applied on standard test image and we quantify achieved performance improvement.

文摘In estimation theory,the researchers have put their efforts to develop some estimators of population mean which may give more precise results when adopting ordinary least squares(OLS)method or robust regression techniques for estimating regression coefficients.But when the correlation is negative and the outliers are presented,the results can be distorted and the OLS-type estimators may give misleading estimates or highly biased estimates.Hence,this paper mainly focuses on such issues through the use of non-conventional measures of dispersion and a robust estimation method.Precisely,we have proposed generalized estimators by using the ancillary information of non-conventional measures of dispersion(Gini’s mean difference,Downton’s method and probabilityweighted moment)using ordinary least squares and then finally adopting the Huber M-estimation technique on the suggested estimators.The proposed estimators are investigated in the presence of outliers in both situations of negative and positive correlation between study and auxiliary variables.Theoretical comparisons and real data application are provided to show the strength of the proposed generalized estimators.It is found that the proposed generalized Huber-M-type estimators are more efficient than the suggested generalized estimators under the OLS estimation method considered in this study.The new proposed estimators will be useful in the future for data analysis and making decisions.
