Estimation of locally stationary covariance matrices from data

چکیده
Local stationarity of a L(R) bandpass random process reflects in specific regions of either the frequency plane of its 2 dimensional power spectrum or the time-frequency plane of its Wigner distribution. The paper addresses the problem of estimating from data a covariance matrix that satisfies the constraint of being locally stationary. We also show, with a real-data case study, the improvement in performance achieved by using locally stationary covariance matrices in the development of low cost quadratic detectors.

In the process of exploring and recognizing of statistical communities, the analysis of data obtained from these communities is considered essential. One of appropriate methods for data analysis is the structural study of the function fitting by these data. Wavelet transformation is one of the most powerful tool in analysis of these functions and structure of wavelet coefficients are very impor...
متن کاملEstimating Covariances of Locally Stationary Processes: Consistency of Best Basis Methods
Mallat, Papanicolaou and Zhang 1] have recently suggested a method for approximating the covariance of a locally stationary process by a covariance which is diagonal in an ideally constructed Coifman{Meyer basis of cosine packets 2]. A natural question arising from their work is to translate approximation results into estimation results. In this paper we discuss the problem of estimation of the...

متن کاملLocally stationary covariance and signal estimation with macrotiles
A macrotile estimation algorithm is introduced to estimate the covariance of locally stationary processes. A macrotile algorithm uses a penalized method to optimize the partition of the space in orthogonal subspaces, and the estimation is computed with a projection operator. It is implemented by searching for a best basis among a dictionary of orthogonal bases and by constructing an adaptive se...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of large covariance matrices of longitudinal data
Estimation of an unstructured covariance matrix is difficult because of its positivedefiniteness constraint. This obstacle is removed by regressing each variable on its predecessors, so that estimation of a covariance matrix is shown to be equivalent to that of estimating a sequence of varying-coefficient and varying-order regression models. Our framework is similar to the use of increasing-ord...
