In this paper, we set forth a new family of regularizing filters based on the magnitude response function of Chebyshev-I lowpass filter. The corresponding regularization strategies for inverse problem are constructed. The optimum asymptotic order of the regularized solution is obtained by a priori choice of the regularization parameter. Finally, numerical results are given to demonstrate the ef...

The regularizing properties of the conjugate gradient iteration, applied to the normal equation of a linear ill-posed problem, were established by Nemirovskii in 1986. A seemingly more attractive variant of this algorithm is the minimal error method suggested by King. The present paper analyzes the regularizing properties of the minimal error method. It is shown that the discrepancy principle i...

Regularization is a required component of geophysical estimation problems that operate with insufficient data. The goal of regularization is to impose additional constraints on the estimated model. I introduce shaping regularization, a general method for imposing constraints by explicit mapping of the estimated model to the space of admissible models. Shaping regularization is integrated in a c...

This paper introduces a method for regularization of HMM systems that avoids parameter overfitting caused by insufficient training data. Regularization is done by augmenting the EM training method by a penalty term that favors simple and smooth HMM systems. The penalty term is constructed as a mixture model of negative exponential distributions that is assumed to generate the state dependent em...

Solving discrete ill-posed problems via Tikhonov regularization introduces the problem of determining a regularization parameter. There are several methods available for choosing such a parameter, yet, in general, the uniqueness of this choice is an open question. Two empirical methods for determining a regularization parameter (which appear in the biomedical engineering literature) are the com...
