Extension of the Maximum Entropy Principle Method for Directional Wave Spectrum Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an extension of the maximum entropy principle method (MEP), named the extended MEP (EMEP), as a general and practical method for estimating directional wave spectra. Since the EMEP is formulated to consider errors in the cross-power spectra, it proves to be an accurate, reliable, and robust method against such errors. In addition, we also examine the EMEP using numerical simulation and field wave data, with its validity being subsequently discussed.

Maximum entropy estimation of directional wave spectra from an array of wave probes
A procedure for estimating directional wave spectra from an array of wave probes based on the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) is developed in the present paper. The MEM approach yields an angular spreading function at each frequency band consistent with the input crossspectral density matrix. The method is evaluated using numerical simulations of directional sea states. The MEM is also used to ana...

متن کاملParameter Estimation for Spatio-Temporal Maximum Entropy Distributions: Application to Neural Spike Trains
We propose a numerical method to learn Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) distributions with spatio-temporal constraints from experimental spike trains. This is an extension of two papers [10] and [4] who proposed the estimation of parameters where only spatial constraints were taken into account. The extension we propose allows to properly handle memory effects in spike statistics, for large sized neura...

متن کاملEstimation of Scalar Ocean Wave Spectra by the Maximum Entropy Method
This paper describes the estimation of ocean wave spectra with the maximum entropy method. This method is based on an autogressive model for the time series of sea surface elevation, and gives an all-pole estimate. The wave series are also prefiltered to introduce one zero in the spectral estimate. The methods are successfully applied to estimate the spectra of some typical wave series, requiri...
