Robust Burg Estimation of stationary autoregressive mixtures covariance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Burg estimators are classically used for the estimation of the autocovariance of a stationary autoregressive process. We propose to consider scale mixtures of stationary autoregressive processes, a non-Gaussian extension of the latter. The traces of such processes are Spherically Invariant Random Vectors (SIRV) with a constraint on the scatter matrix due to the autoregressive model. We propose adaptations of the Burg estimators to the considered models and their associated robust versions based on geometrical considerations.

Performance of the weighted burg methods of ar spectral estimation for pitch-synchronous analysis of voiced speech
Recemly three different modifications over the Burg method of autoregressive (AR) spectral estimation are proposed by Swingler [5], Kaveh and Lippert [6], and Scott and Nikias [7], where the linear prediction error is weighted prior to its minimization. In the present paper, we study these weighted Burg methods for pitch-synchronous analysis of short segments (duration less than one pitch perio...
متن کاملPSF Estimation via Covariance Matching
This paper proposes a new covariance matching based technique for blurred image PSF (point spread function) estimation. A patch based image degradation model is proposed for the covariance matching estimation framework. A robust covariance metric which is based on Riemannian manifold is adapted to measure the distance between covariance matrices. The optimal PSF is computed by minimizing the di...
متن کاملBlind Separation of Mixtures of Piecewise AR(1) Processes and Model Mismatch
Modeling real-world acoustic signals and namely speech signals as piecewise stationary random processes is a possible approach to blind separation of linear mixtures of such signals. In this paper, the piecewise AR(1) modeling is studied and is compared to the more common piecewise AR(0) modeling, which is known under the names Block Gaussian SEParation (BGSEP) and Block Gaussian Likelihood (BG...
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...
متن کاملRobust Estimation in Vector Autoregressive Models Based on a Robust Scale
A new class of robust estimates for vector autoregressive processes is proposed. The autoregressive coefficients and the covariance matrix of the innovations are estimated simultaneously by minimizing the determinant of the covariance matrix estimate, subject to a constraint on a robust scale of the Mahalanobis norms of the innovation residuals. By choosing as robust scale a τ− estimate, the re...
