Estimation, Decision and Applications to Target TrackingLiu, Yu 20 December 2013 (has links)
This dissertation mainly consists of three parts. The first part proposes generalized linear minimum mean-square error (GLMMSE) estimation for nonlinear point estimation. The second part proposes a recursive joint decision and estimation (RJDE) algorithm for joint decision and estimation (JDE). The third part analyzes the performance of sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) when the log-likelihood ratios (LLR) are independent but not identically distributed.
The linear minimum mean-square error (LMMSE) estimation plays an important role in nonlinear estimation. It searches for the best estimator in the set of all estimators that are linear in the measurement. A GLMMSE estimation framework is proposed in this disser- tation. It employs a vector-valued measurement transform function (MTF) and finds the best estimator among all estimators that are linear in MTF. Several design guidelines for the MTF based on a numerical example were provided.
A RJDE algorithm based on a generalized Bayes risk is proposed in this dissertation for dynamic JDE problems. It is computationally efficient for dynamic problems where data are made available sequentially. Further, since existing performance measures for estimation or decision are effective to evaluate JDE algorithms, a joint performance measure is proposed for JDE algorithms for dynamic problems. The RJDE algorithm is demonstrated by applications to joint tracking and classification as well as joint tracking and detection in target tracking.
The characteristics and performance of SPRT are characterized by two important functions—operating characteristic (OC) and average sample number (ASN). These two functions have been studied extensively under the assumption of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) LLR, which is too stringent for many applications. This dissertation relaxes the requirement of identical distribution. Two inductive equations governing the OC and ASN are developed. Unfortunately, they have non-unique solutions in the general case. They do have unique solutions in two special cases: (a) the LLR sequence converges in distributions and (b) the LLR sequence has periodic distributions. Further, the analysis can be readily extended to evaluate the performance of the truncated SPRT and the cumulative sum test.

Inquéritos por telefone: inferências válidas em regiões com baixa taxa de cobertura de linhas residenciais / Telephone survey: valid inferences in regions with low coverage rate of residential linesBernal, Regina Tomie Ivata 12 August 2011 (has links)
Introdução: O inquérito por telefone, quando comparado ao inquérito domiciliar possui vários atrativos, em especial baixo custo operacional e rapidez do processo de divulgação de resultados. No entanto, a exclusão de domicílios sem telefone fixo, pode representar série questão de validade nas estimativas obtidas. Objetivo: Avaliar vícios potenciais nos resultados divulgados no Sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico (VIGITEL) em município de baixa cobertura de domicílios com telefone fixo. Métodos: A partir de resultados levantados pelo Inquérito Domiciliar realizado no município de Rio Branco-AC, com cobertura de 41 por cento dos domicílios com telefone fixo, tentou-se localizar vícios introduzidos nos resultados do Vigitel. Foi usado método alternativo de ponderação para diminuir o vício da estimativa do Vigitel. Resultados: O Vigitel subestima a maioria das prevalências estimadas. Os pesos de pós-estratificação eliminam parcialmente o vício, cuja origem é proveniente de baixa taxa de cobertura de domicílios com telefone fixo. Por outro lado, o uso desses pesos, quando não necessário, potencializou o vício das variáveis não associadas à posse de telefone fixo. Conclusões: Em municípios de baixa taxa de cobertura de domicílios com telefone fixo, torna-se necessária a implementação de novo método de ponderação e estratégia de seleção de variáveis externas para construção dos pesos de pós estratificação, que minimizem o vício nas estimativas das variáveis levantadas / Introdução: O inquérito por telefone, quando comparado ao inquérito domiciliar possui vários atrativos, em especial baixo custo operacional e rapidez do processo de divulgação de resultados.

台灣季節性消費品銷售預測之研究 / The investigation of forecasting models for the sales of seasonal consumer products in Taiwan潘家鋒, Pan, Jason Unknown Date (has links)
The trend seasonal demand pattern is encountered when both trend and seasonal influences are interactive. The problem of this research is to project the seasonal market sales using ice cream and fresh milk in Taiwan as examples. In order to improve the accuracy of forecast, two different methods are validated and the best forecasting method is selected based on the minimum Mean Square Error.
In this study, we present two forecasting models used for evaluation to predict seasonal market sales of ice cream, fresh milk, and air conditioner in Taiwan. It includes Winters multiplicative seasonal trend model and the Decomposition method. Two different methods are validated and the best forecasting method is selected based on the minimum Mean Square Error.
After the validation process, Winters multiplicative seasonal trend model is selected based on the minimum MSE, and the monthly sales forecast for the year of 2011 is conducted using the data(60 months). Number Cruncher Statistical System (NCSS) is used for analyzing the data which proves useful and powerful.
In summary, the results demonstrate that Winters multiplicative seasonal trend model has the smallest mean square error in this case. Therefore, we conclude that both Winters multiplicative seasonal trend model and the Decomposition model are well fitted for forecasting the seasonal market sales. Yet, Winters multiplicative seasonal trend model is the better method to be used in this study since it generates the smallest mean square error (MSE) during the period of validation.

The Performance of the Differentially Coherent DS/SS Code Synchronization with Different Adaptive LMS Filtering SchemesChang, Yu-Chen 02 August 2005 (has links)
The efficiency of direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) receiver is highly dependent on the accurate and fast synchronization between the incoming and locally generated PN (pseudo-noise) codes. The code synchronization is processed in two steps, acquisition (coarse alignment) and tracking (fine alignment), to estimate the delay offset between the two codes. In general, the schemes for code acquisition and tracking processes are performed, separately, and implemented with different structure. Recently, an alternative approach, with the adaptive LMS filtering scheme, has been proposed for performing both code acquisition and tracking with the identical structure, where the coherent receiver was employed. With this approach, dramatically, hardware complexity reduction could be achieved, especially, when long PN code is considered.
In this thesis, a new differentially coherent code synchronization scheme, based on a differential detector followed by an adaptive constrained LMS (CLMS) filtering algorithm with maximum tap weight (MTW) test scheme, is devised for performing both code acquisition and tracking with the identical structure. With a differential detector for code synchronization, the prior knowledge of the carrier phase is not required as the non-coherent techniques. Numerical analyses and simulation results verify that the proposed scheme has better acquisition performance, in terms of mean acquisition time, than the conventional LMS filtering algorithm with MTW test and mean square error (MSE) test schemes for the integer and non-integer time delay environments. At the same time, the proposed scheme has better tracking capability, in terms of mean hold-in time and mean penalty time, over the conventional LMS filtering schemes, for the variation of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and delay offset (delay difference).

A Bidirectional Lms Algorithm For Estimation Of Fast Time-varying ChannelsYapici, Yavuz 01 May 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Effort to estimate unknown time-varying channels as a part of high-speed mobile communication systems is of interest especially for next-generation wireless systems. The high computational complexity of the optimal Wiener estimator usually makes its use impractical in fast time-varying channels. As a powerful candidate, the adaptive least mean squares (LMS) algorithm offers a computationally efficient solution with its simple first-order weight-vector update equation. However, the performance of the LMS algorithm deteriorates in time-varying channels as a result of the eigenvalue disparity, i.e., spread, of the input correlation matrix in such chan nels. In this work, we incorporate the L MS algorithm into the well-known bidirectional processing idea to produce an extension called the bidirectional LMS. This algorithm is shown to be robust to the adverse effects of time-varying channels such as large eigenvalue spread. The associated tracking performance is observed to be very close to that of the optimal Wiener filter in many cases and the bidirectional LMS algorithm is therefore referred to as near-optimal. The computational complexity is observed to increase by the bidirectional employment of the LMS algorithm, but nevertheless is significantly lower than that of the optimal Wiener filter. The tracking behavior of the bidirectional LMS algorithm is also analyzed and eventually a steady-state step-size dependent mean square error (MSE) expression is derived for single antenna flat-fading channels with various correlation properties. The aforementioned analysis is then generalized to include single-antenna frequency-selective channels where the so-called ind ependence assumption is no more applicable due to the channel memory at hand, and then to multi-antenna flat-fading channels. The optimal selection of the step-size values is also presented using the results of the MSE analysis. The numerical evaluations show a very good match between the theoretical and the experimental results under various scenarios. The tracking analysis of the bidirectional LMS algorithm is believed to be novel in the sense that although there are several works in the literature on the bidirectional estimation, none of them provides a theoretical analysis on the underlying estimators. An iterative channel estimation scheme is also presented as a more realistic application for each of the estimation algorithms and the channel models under consideration. As a result, the bidirectional LMS algorithm is observed to be very successful for this real-life application with its increased but still practical level of complexity, the near-optimal tracking performa nce and robustness to the imperfect initialization.

Performance bounds in terms of estimation and resolution and applications in array processingTran, Nguyen Duy 24 September 2012 (has links) (PDF)
This manuscript concerns the performance analysis in signal processing and consists into two parts : First, we study the lower bounds in characterizing and predicting the estimation performance in terms of mean square error (MSE). The lower bounds on the MSE give the minimum variance that an estimator can expect to achieve and it can be divided into two categories depending on the parameter assumption: the so-called deterministic bounds dealing with the deterministic unknown parameters, and the so-called Bayesian bounds dealing with the random unknown parameter. Particularly, we derive the closed-form expressions of the lower bounds for two applications in two different fields: (i) The first one is the target localization using the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar in which we derive the lower bounds in the contexts with and without modeling errors, respectively. (ii) The other one is the pulse phase estimation of X-ray pulsars which is a potential solution for autonomous deep space navigation. In this application, we show the potential universality of lower bounds to tackle problems with parameterized probability density function (pdf) different from classical Gaussian pdf since in X-ray pulse phase estimation, observations are modeled with a Poisson distribution. Second, we study the statistical resolution limit (SRL) which is the minimal distance in terms of the parameter of interest between two signals allowing to correctly separate/estimate the parameters of interest. More precisely, we derive the SRL in two contexts: array processing and MIMO radar by using two approaches based on the estimation theory and information theory. We also present in this thesis the usefulness of SRL in optimizing the array system.

On Maximizing The Performance Of The Bilateral Filter For Image DenoisingKishan, Harini 03 1900 (has links) (PDF)
We address the problem of image denoising for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), Poisson noise, and Chi-squared noise scenarios. Thermal noise in electronic circuitry in camera hardware can be modeled as AWGN. Poisson noise is used to model the randomness associated with photon counting during image acquisition. Chi-squared noise statistics are appropriate in imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). AWGN is additive, while Poisson noise is neither additive nor multiplicative. Although Chi-squared noise is derived from AWGN statistics, it is non-additive.
Mean-square error (MSE) is the most widely used metric to quantify denoising performance. In parametric denoising approaches, the optimal parameters of the denoising function are chosen by employing a minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) criterion. However, the dependence of MSE on the noise-free signal makes MSE computation infeasible in practical scenarios. We circumvent the problem by adopting an MSE estimation approach. The ground-truth-independent estimates of MSE are Stein’s unbiased risk estimate (SURE), Poisson unbiased risk estimate (PURE) and Chi-square unbiased risk estimate (CURE) for AWGN, Poison and Chi-square noise models, respectively. The denoising function is optimized to achieve maximum noise suppression by minimizing the MSE estimates.
We have chosen the bilateral filter as the denoising function. Bilateral filter is a nonlinear edge-preserving smoother. The performance of the bilateral filter is governed by the choice of its parameters, which can be optimized to minimize the MSE or its estimate. However, in practical scenarios, MSE cannot be computed due to inaccessibility of the noise-free image. We derive SURE, PURE, and CURE in the context of bilateral filtering and compute the parameters of the bilateral filter that yield the minimum cost (SURE/PURE/CURE). On processing the noisy input with bilateral filter whose optimal parameters are chosen by minimizing MSE estimates (SURE/PURE/CURE), we obtain the estimate closest to the ground truth. We denote the bilateral filter with optimal parameters as SURE-optimal bilateral filter (SOBF), PURE-optimal bilateral filter (POBF) and CURE-optimal bilateral filter (COBF) for AWGN, Poisson and Chi-Squared noise scenarios, respectively.
In addition to the globally optimal bilateral filters (SOBF and POBF), we propose spatially adaptive bilateral filter variants, namely, SURE-optimal patch-based bilateral filter (SPBF) and PURE-optimal patch-based bilateral filter (PPBF). SPBF and PPBF yield significant improvements in performance and preserve edges better when compared with their globally-optimal counterparts, SOBF and POBF, respectively.
We also propose the SURE-optimal multiresolution bilateral filter (SMBF) where we couple SOBF with wavelet thresholding. For Poisson noise suppression, we propose PURE-optimal multiresolution bilateral filter (PMBF), which is the Poisson counterpart of SMBF. We com-pare the performance of SMBF and PMBF with the state-of-the-art denoising algorithms for AWGN and Poisson noise, respectively. The proposed multiresolution-based bilateral filtering techniques yield denoising performance that is competent with that of the state-of-the-art techniques.

Contribution to multipath channel estimation in an OFDM modulation context. / Contribution à l'estimation de canal multi-trajets dans un contexte de modulation OFDMSavaux, Vincent 29 November 2013 (has links)
Dans les systèmes de communications sans fil, le canal de transmission entre les antennes d’émission et de réception est l’une des principales sources de perturbation pour le signal. Les modulations multiporteuses, telles que l’OFDM (pour orthogonal frequency division multiplexing), sont très robustes contre l’effet des multi-trajets, et permet de retrouver le signal émis avec un faible taux d’erreur, quand elles sont combinées avec un codage canal. L’estimation de canal joue alors un rôle clé dans les performances des systèmes de communications. Dans cette thèse, on étudie des techniques fondées sur les estimateurs LS (pour least square, ou moindres carrés) et MMSE (pour minimum mean square error, ou erreur quadratique moyenne minimum). La technique MMSE est optimale, mais est beaucoup plus complexe que LS, et nécessite la connaissance a priori des moments de second ordre du canal et du bruit. Dans cette présentation, deux méthodes permettant d’atteindre des performances proches de LMMSE en évitant ses inconvénients sont étudiées. Une troisième partie étudie quant à elle les erreurs d’estimation dues aux interpolations. / In wireless communications systems, the transmission channel between the transmitter and the receiver antennas is one of the main sources of disruption for the signal. The multicarrier modulations, such as the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), are very robust against the multipath effect, and allow to recover the transmitted signal with a low error rate, when they are combined with a channel encoding. The channel estimation then plays a key role in the performance of the communications systems. In this PhD thesis, we study techniques based on least square (LS) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimators. The MMSE is optimal, but is much more complex than LS, and requires the a priori knowledge of the second order moment of the channel and the noise. In this presentation, two methods that allow to reach a performance close to the one of LMMSE while getting around its drawback are investigated. In another way, a third part of the presentation investigates the errors of estimation due to the interpolations.
