چکیده

Figure 3: Fitting of representative liver voxels from the two techniques in Patient 2 of Fig. 1. T2*-IDEAL, based on complex data and weighted least squares, accurately captures the T2* decay, whereas the multi-echo exponential fitting demonstrates over-estimation of the T2*. Figure 1: representative results from two patients. Water and fat images from the T2*-IDEAL technique are shown in addition to the T2* maps from the two techniques.

Linear Prediction Approach to Oversampling Parameter Estimation for Multiple Complex Sinusoids.dvi

The problem of oversampling parameter estimation for noisy sinusoidal signals is addressed. We first extend the weighted least squares (WLS) approach to the complex sinusoids. Then the oversampling weighted least squares (OSWLS) estimator is proposed based on data decimation. Estimation performance of the OSWLS method is analyzed via theoretical and simulation studies. Results are also compared...

Hybrid Estimation of Semivariogram Parameters1

Two widely used methods of semivariogram estimation are weighted least squares estimation and maximum likelihood estimation. The former have certain computational advantages, whereas the latter are more statistically efficient. We introduce and study a “hybrid” semivariogram estimation procedure that combines weighted least squares estimation of the range parameter with maximum likelihood estim...

Amplitude Estimation of Multichannel Signal in Spatially and Temporally Correlated Noise

This paper examines the problem of complex amplitude estimation of a multichannel signal in the presence of colored noise with unknown spatial and temporal correlation. A number of amplitude estimators are developed, including the optimum maximum likelihood (ML) estimator, which involves nonlinear optimization, and several suboptimal but computationally more efficient estimators based on least-...

Adaptive Weighted Least Squares Algorithm for Volterra Signal Modeling

This paper presents a novel algorithm for least squares (LS) estimation of both stationary and nonstationary signals which arise from Volterra models. The algorithm concerns the recursive implementations of the method of LS which usually have a weighting factor in the cost function. This weighting factor enables nonstationary signal models to be tracked. In particular, the behavior of the weigh...
