Cramér-Rao Lower Bound for Fuzzy-Valued Random Variables

چکیده

In some point estimation problems, we may confront imprecise (fuzzy) concepts. One important case is a situation where all observations are fuzzy rather than crisp. In this paper, using fuzzy set theory, we define a fuzzy-valued random variable, a fuzzy unbiased estimator, a fuzzy exponential family, and then we state and prove a Cramér-Rao lower bound for such fuzzy estimators. Finally, we give some examples.

Bayesian Cramér-rao Bound for Dynamical Phase Offset Estimation

In this paper, we present a closed-form expression of a Bayesian Cramér-Rao lower bound for the estimation of a dynamical phase offset for a random BPSK sequence in an AWGN channel. The received symbols are disturbed by carrier phase offset which follows a Wiener model. Considering a received observation sequence, we provide a first analytical expression of the Bayesian CRB. Then, we derive an ...

Cramér-Rao Lower Bound for UWB Time of Arrival Estimation in Multipath Conditions

The accuracy of time of arrival (ToA) estimation using wide band signals is characterized. The Cramér-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) for ToA estimation in multipath conditions is presented in terms of the Ricean K-factor, the ratio of direct to diffuse multipath components. The validity of the CRLB is demonstrated using thousands of measurements, where the K-factor is estimated in the spectral domain. ...

When the Cramér-rao Inequality Provides No Information

We investigate a one-parameter family of probability densities (related to the Pareto distribution, which describes many natural phenomena) where the Cramér-Rao inequality provides no information. 1. Cramér-Rao Inequality One of the most important problems in statistics is estimating a population parameter from a finite sample. As there are often many different estimators, it is desirable to be...

A Study on Distance Estimation Based on Received Signal Strength and Its Cramér-Rao Lower Bound

In this paper, I propose a new distance estimation method based on the received signal strength. I show that the proposed method, which is able to correspond the distance estimate to true value, always outperforms the conventional one with respect to mean squared error. Moreover, I compare the performance of the proposed estimator with the Cramér Rao lower bound and refer to the potential of an...
