Approximate Maximum Likelihood Blind Source Separation with Arbitrary Source Pdfs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a quasi-maximum likelihood approach to blind source separation (BSS) which is based on approximating the source distributions by their truncated Edgeworth expansions. The paper focuses on the 22 case, for which the problem is known to reduce to the estimation of a single rotation angle. Unlike existing maximum likelihood BSS techniques , the proposed algorithm is consistent for any source distribution, provided that the usual identiiability condition (at most one Gaussian source) is satissed. Closed-form expressions are derived for the true CRB, for the CRB corresponding to the Edgeworth approximation, and for the large-sample variance of the proposed estimator. The proposed algorithm is compared with existing approaches via extensive simulations.

Blind Equalization via Approximate Maximum Likelihood Source Separation
Blind equalization of single input multiple output (SIMO) FIR channels can be reformulated as the problem of blind source separation. It was shown in [4] that the natural gradient-based source separation method could recover source successfully for ill-conditioned channels since it has the equivariant property. However, the e ect of additive noise was not considered in [4]. In this letter we de...

The relative Newton algorithm, previously proposed for quasi maximum likelihood blind source separation and blind deconvolution of one-dimensional signals is generalized for blind deconvolution of images. Smooth approximation of the absolute value is used in modelling the log probability density function, which is suitable for sparse sources. We propose a method of sparsification, which allows ...
