متن کاملInput-to-state Covariances for Spectral Analysis: the Biased Estimate
In many practical applications second order moments are used for estimation of power spectrum. This can be cast as an inverse problem where we seek a spectrum consistent with a given state-covariance matrix. Such a solution exists if and only if the covariance matrix is positive and belong to a low dimensional subspace. The sample covariance estimate of such a matrix will typically fall outside...
متن کاملUltrasonographic determination of goiter prevalence in southern Brazilian schoolchildren.
