Spectral Kurtosis Theory: A Review through Simulations
نویسنده
چکیده
Kurtosis of a time signal has been a popular tool for detecting nongaussianity. Recently, kurtosis as a function frequency defined in spectral domain has been successfully used in the fault detection of induction motors, machine bearings. A link between the nongaussianity and nonstationaity has been established through Wold-Cramer’s decomposition of a nonstationary signal, and the properties of the so-designated conditional nonstationary (CNS) process have been analytically obtained. As the nonstationary signals are abundantly found in music, the spectral kurtosis could find applications in audio processing e.g. music instrument classification and music-speech classification. In this paper, the theory of spectral kurtosis is briefly reviewed from the first principles and the spectral kurtosis properties of some popular stationary signals, nonstationary signals and mixed processes are analytically obtained. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to support the theory.

Circularity of the STFT and spectral kurtosis for time-frequency segmentation in white Gaussian environment
This paper investigate the circularity of Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) coefficients noise only, and proposes a modified STFT such that all coefficients coming from white Gaussian noise are circular. In order to make use of the spectral kurtosis (SK) for a stop criterion, we consider the spectral kurtosis of circular random variables, and its link with the kurtosis of the real and imagina...

متن کاملEarly Fault Diagnosis of Bearings Using an Improved Spectral Kurtosis by Maximum Correlated Kurtosis Deconvolution
The early fault characteristics of rolling element bearings carried by vibration signals are quite weak because the signals are generally masked by heavy background noise. To extract the weak fault characteristics of bearings from the signals, an improved spectral kurtosis (SK) method is proposed based on maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD). The proposed method combines the ability...
متن کاملThe Kurtosis of the Cosmic Shear Field
We study the fourth-order moment of the cosmic shear field using the dark matter halo approach to describe the nonlinear gravitational evolution of structure in the universe. Since the third-order moment of the shear field vanishes because of symmetry, non-Gaussian signatures in its one-point statistics emerge at the fourth-order level. We argue that the shear kurtosis parameter Sγ,4 ≡ 〈γ i 〉c/...
