Reliable Parameter Estimation for Generalised Gaussian Pdf Models: Application to Signal Detection in Non- Gaussian Noisy Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a new analytical approximated expression for the sharpness parameter of a Generalised Gaussian pdf model as a function of a higher-order statistic, namely normalised kurtosis is proposed. The approximation is based on some mathematical considerations concerning the Gamma function, and provides a very precise sharpness evaluation for a wide range of normalised kurtosis values. As a result, it allows the exploitation of the parametric Generalised Gaussian pdf model in advanced signal processing applications, e.g. detection of weak signals in non-Gaussian noise, where an accurate evaluation of noise distribution is required.

Parameter Estimation in Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Skew Gaussian Random Effects using Laplace Approximation
Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Gaussian Mixture Models, Explicit Bayesian Estimation and Wiener Filtering
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) of power spectral densities of speech and noise are used with explicit Bayesian estimations in Wiener filtering of noisy speech. No assumption is made on the nature or stationarity of the noise. No voice activity detection (VAD) or any other means is employed to estimate the input SNR. The GMM mean vectors are used to form sets of over-determined system of equatio...

In this paper, a Bayesian approach is proposed for shift point detection in an inverse Gaussian distribution. In this study, the mean parameter of inverse Gaussian distribution is assumed to be constant and shift points in shape parameter is considered. First the posterior distribution of shape parameter is obtained. Then the Bayes estimators are derived under a class of priors and using variou...

A detector for the case of a radar target with known Doppler and unknown complex amplitude in complex Gaussian noise with unknown parameters has been derived. The detector assumes that the noise is an Auto-Regressive (AR) process with Gaussian autocorrelation function which is a suitable model for ground clutter in most scenarios involving airborne radars. The detector estimates the unknown...
