NASA Tech Briefs, November 2010 yield this behavior. Previous work on mean-square error characterization for ML estimators has predominantly focused on additive Gaussian noise. This work demonstrates that the discrete nature of the Poisson noise process leads to a distinctly different error behavior. This work was done by Baris I. Erkmen and Bruce E. Moision of Caltech for NASA’s Jet Propulsion...

The Mariner IV Occultation Experiment (Ref. 2) has been carried out by investigators from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Stanford University, and CorneU University. Previous knowledge of such atmospheric properties as the surface pressure and density, as well as scale height, has been quite poorly defined. The surface pressure, as deduced from recent spectroscopic observations of weak and stron...
