A new look at the statistical model identification
The history of the development of statistical hypothesis testing in time series analysis is reviewed briefly and it is pointed out that the hypothesis testing procedure is not a...
A unifying maximum-likelihood view of cumulant and polyspectral measures for non-Gaussian signal classification and estimation
Classification and estimation of non-Gaussian signals observed in additive Gaussian noise of unknown covariance are addressed using cumulants or polyspectra. By integrating idea...
Maximum Likelihood from Incomplete Data Via the <i>EM</i> Algorithm
Summary A broadly applicable algorithm for computing maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data is presented at various levels of generality. Theory showing the monotone ...
On the Convergence Properties of the EM Algorithm
Two convergence aspects of the EM algorithm are studied: (i) does the EM algorithm find a local maximum or a stationary value of the (incomplete-data) likelihood function? (ii) ...
Gaussian mixture sigma-point particle filters for sequential probabilistic inference in dynamic state-space models
For sequential probabilistic inference in nonlinear non-Gaussian systems, approximate solutions must be used. We present a novel recursive Bayesian estimation algorithm that com...
