Enhanced Weak Signal Detection Using SVM Based Correlation Algorithm

Kramer, Samuel Leonard 05 June 2024 (has links)
Traditional signal detection algorithms are often robust and are typically sufficient for high SNR data. However, the assumptions behind these methods begin to fall apart when signal period becomes either very short, or small in amplitude compared to any corruptive noise. To address this a kernel transform based cross-correlation algorithm is proposed for the application of weak signal detection. The algorithm leverages kernel methods to inflate SNR of the data and enhance the noise rejection capabilities of the traditional cross-correlation. The goal of the algorithm is to achieve detection for signals past the limits of those of the matched filter and the cross-correlation in the presence of white and colored noise. To evaluate the effectiveness of the correlation algorithm, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to determine the performance in the context of different types of noise. The performance of the algorithm will be compared against the cross-correlation and the matched filter. / Master of Science / As society advances, the tools we rely on become increasingly more intricate. Pivotal to the development of these systems is the algorithms used to process the data they collect. Particularly crucial to the field of signal processing, weak signal detection is focused on the processing of barely comprehensible data in the context of powerful noise. In recent years, advancements in weak signal detection have focused on pushing the theoretical limits of signal discernibility, especially when heavily obscured by noise. Leveraging the power of machine learning, certain AI algorithms have showcased promise in the detection of weak signals. It has yet to be seen if a foundational principle of AI called a kernel transform can be applied to classic signal detection theory to increase detection performance. This thesis will propose a kernel based detection algorithm for weak signal detection and the performance of the algorithm will be compared against previously established theory. New breakthroughs in detection algorithms facilitate improvements in active and passive sonar, medical devices and even the finance sector.

Studies of Extensions of HRM-SDT for Constructed Responses

Zhou, Xiaoliang January 2019 (has links)
This research examines an ordered perception rater model, an extension of the equal perception signal detection theory (SDT) latent class rater model. The expectation-maximization algorithm and the Newton-Raphson algorithm are used to estimate parameters. Four simulation studies are conducted to answer three research questions. Simulation studies 1 and 2 fit correct models to the data. Simulation study 1 generates one hundred data sets from the equal perception rater model, both with fully-crossed design and BIB design, and both without and with rater effects, and fits the equal perception model. Parameter recovery is excellent for fully-crossed design and reasonable for BIB design, and all rater effects are detected. Simulation study 2 generates one hundred simulated data sets from the ordered perception model, both with fully-crossed design and BIB design, and both without and with rater effects, and fits the ordered perception rater model. Although parameter recovery is biased for some parameters in the BIB design, all rater effects are recovered. Simulation studies 3 and 4 fit wrong models to the data. Simulation study 3 fits equal perception models to the fully-crossed and BIB ordered perception data sets generated in simulation study 2. All rater effects are revealed, although rater effects are distorted to some extent in the BIB design. Simulation study 4 fits ordered perception models to the fully-crossed and BIB equal perception data sets generated in study 1. All rater effects are recovered. Using essay scores from a large-scale language test, an empirical study is conducted. Both the equal and the ordered perception models are fitted. Information criteria favor the equal perception model.
