Using weighted power mean for equivalent square estimation

Using weighted power mean for equivalent square estimation

PURPOSE Equivalent Square (ES) enables the calculation of many radiation quantities for rectangular treatment fields, based only on measurements from square fields. While it is widely applied in radiotherapy, its accuracy, especially for extremely elongated fields, still leaves room for improvement. In this study, we introduce a novel explicit ES formula based on Weighted Power Mean (WPM) funct...

Distributed Incremental Least Mean-Square for Parameter Estimation using Heterogeneous Adaptive Networks in Unreliable Measurements

Adaptive networks include a set of nodes with adaptation and learning abilities for modeling various types of self-organized and complex activities encountered in the real world. This paper presents the effect of heterogeneously distributed incremental LMS algorithm with ideal links on the quality of unknown parameter estimation. In heterogeneous adaptive networks, a fraction of the nodes, defi...

Mean Square Estimation

The problem of parameter estimation in linear model is pervasive in signal processing and communication applications. It is often common to restrict attention to linear estimators, which simplifies the implementation as well as the mathematical derivations. The simplest design scenario is when the second order statistics of the parameters to be estimated are known and it is desirable to minimiz...

Discrete weighted mean square all-pole modeling

The paper presents a new method for all-pole model estimation based on minimization of the weighted mean square error in the sampled spectral domain. Due to discrete nature of the proposed distance measure, emphasis can be put on an arbitrary set of spectral samples what can greatly improve the model accuracy for periodic signals. Weighting can also be applied to improve the fitting in certain ...
