Spectrometer Calibration by Expectation Maximization Method
نویسنده
چکیده
Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is a parameter estimation method from incomplete observations. In this paper, an implementation of this method to the calibration of HKS spectrometer at Jefferson Lab is described. We show that the application of EM method is able to calibrate the spectrometer properly in the presence of high background noise, while the traditional nonlinear Least Square method fail. The preliminary results of HKS spectrometer calibration is presented.

متن کاملOrdered-subsets Acceleration of Radio Interferometric Calibration: Os-sage Calibration Algorithm
The main objective of this work is to accelerate the MaximumLikelihood (ML) estimation procedure for radio interferometric direction dependent self-calibration. We introduce the OS-SAGE radio interferometric calibration method, as a combination of the Ordered-Subsets (OS) method with the Space Alternating Generalized Expectation maximization (SAGE) calibration technique. The OS method speeds up...
متن کاملAas 08-219 an Expectation-maximization Approach to Attitude Sensor Calibration
An Expectation-Maximization approach to sensor calibration is presented and applied to three-axis-magnetometer calibration. This approach is different from the existing attitude-independent approaches mainly in how the attitude parameters in the attitude sensor measurement model are handled. The attitude-independent approaches rely on a conversion of the body and reference representations of th...
متن کاملBlind Array Calibration Technique Using ICA
High-resolution direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms, (e.g. MUSIC algorithms [1]), require array calibration for their mode vectors. One of the calibration techniques is the method which employs a calibration matrix for a covariance matrix of the array. The calibration matrix is estimated before the operation with a set of reference sources having known DOAs in general. Since the me...
متن کاملMachine Learning Vasicek Model Calibration with Gaussian Processes
In this paper we calibrate the Vasicek interest rate model under the risk neutral measure by learning the model parameters using Gaussian processes for machine learning regression. The calibration is done by maximizing the likelihood of zero coupon bond log prices, using mean and covariance functions computed analytically, as well as likelihood derivatives with respect to the parameters. The ma...
