Cross-Correlation and Maximum Likelihood Analysis: A New Approach to Combine Cross-Correlation Functions
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a new approach to combine cross-correlation functions. The combination is based on a maximum-likelihood approach and uses a non-linear combination scheme. It can be effective for radial-velocity analysis of multi-order spectra, or for analysis of multiple exposures of the same object. Simulations are presented to show the potential of the suggested combination scheme. The technique has already been used to detect a very faint companion of HD41004.

Assessment of uncertainty for coal quality-tonnage curves through minimum spatial cross-correlation simulation
Coal quality-tonnage curves are helpful tools in optimum mine planning and can be estimated using geostatistical simulation methods. In the presence of spatially cross-correlated variables, traditional co-simulation methods are impractical and time consuming. This paper investigates a factor simulation approach based on minimization of spatial cross-correlations with the objective of modeling s...
متن کاملAnalyzing weak lensing of the cosmic microwave background using the likelihood function
Future experiments will produce high-resolution temperature maps of the cosmic microwave background ~CMB! and are expected to reveal the signature of gravitational lensing by intervening large-scale structures. We construct all-sky maximum-likelihood estimators that use the lensing effect to estimate the projected density ~convergence! of these structures, its power spectrum, and cross-correlat...
متن کاملMaximum-likelihood approach to strain imaging using ultrasound
A maximum-likelihood (ML) strategy for strain estimation is presented as a framework for designing and evaluating bioelasticity imaging systems. Concepts from continuum mechanics, signal analysis, and acoustic scattering are combined to develop a mathematical model of the ultrasonic waveforms used to form strain images. The model includes three-dimensional (3-D) object motion described by affin...
متن کاملClassification of transformer faults using frequency response analysis based on cross-correlation technique and support vector machine
One of the most important methods for transformers fault diagnosis (especially mechanical defects) is the frequency response analysis (FRA) method. The most important step in the FRA diagnostic process is to differentiate the faults and classify them in different classes. This paper uses the intelligent support vector machine (SVM) method to classify transformer faults. For this purpose, two gr...
متن کاملMaximum-likelihood multi-reference refinement for electron microscopy images.
A maximum-likelihood approach to multi-reference image refinement is presented. In contrast to conventional cross-correlation refinement, the new approach includes a formal description of the noise, implying that it is especially suited to cases with low signal-to-noise ratios. Application of this approach to a cryo-electron microscopy dataset revealed two major classes for projections of simia...
