In this work, we present low-complexity variable forgetting factor (VFF) techniques for diffusion recursive least squares (DRLS) algorithms. Particularly, we propose low-complexity VFF-DRLS algorithms for distributed parameter and spectrum estimation in sensor networks. For the proposed algorithms, they can adjust the forgetting factor automatically according to the posteriori error signal. We ...

Airborne laser scanner (ALS) data are used operationally to support field inventories and enhance the accuracy of forest biomass estimates. Modelling the relationship between ALS and field data is a fundamental step of such applications and the quality of the model is essential for the final accuracy of the estimates. Different modelling approaches and variable transformations have been advocat...

Performance analysis of l0 norm constrained Recursive least Squares (RLS) algorithm is attempted in this paper. Though the performance pretty attractive compared to its various alternatives, no thorough study of theoretical analysis has been performed. Like the popular l0 Least Mean Squares (LMS) algorithm, in l0 RLS, a l0 norm penalty is added to provide zero tap attractions on the instantaneo...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose an optimal adaptive FIR filter, in which the step-size and error nonlinearity are simultaneously optimized to maximize the decrease of the mean square deviation (MSD) of the weight error vector at each iteration. The optimal step-size and error nonlinearity are derived, and a variable step-size stochastic information gradient (VS-SIG) algorithm is developed t...

This paper extends the recently introduced variable step-size (VSS) approach to the family of adaptive filter algorithms. This method uses prior knowledge of the channel impulse response statistic. Accordingly, optimal stepsize vector is obtained by minimizing the mean-square deviation (MSD). The presented algorithms are the VSS affine projection algorithm (VSS-APA), the VSS selective partial u...

Recently, the sign subband adaptive filter (SSAF) algorithm has obtained great attention, due to its robustness against impulsive noises and decorrelating property for correlated input signals. However, the performance of the algorithm in the steady-state is not analyzed. In this paper, we study the steady-state mean-square-deviation (MSD) behavior of the SSAF algorithm by using energy conserva...

This paper presents a novel variable matrix-type step-size affine projection sign algorithm (VMSS-APSA) characterized by robustness against impulsive noise. To mathematically derive step size, VMSS-APSA utilizes mean-square deviation (MSD) for the modified version of original APSA. Accurately establishing MSD APSA is impossible. Therefore, proposed derives upper bound using L1-norm measurement ...

This paper introduces a new approach for the performance analysis of adaptive filter with error saturation nonlinearity in the presence of impulsive noise. The performance analysis of adaptive filters includes both transient analysis which shows that how fast a filter learns and the steady-state analysis gives how well a filter learns. The recursive expressions for mean-square deviation(MSD) an...

This paper considers the problem of distributed estimation in an incremental network when the measurements taken by the node follow a widely linear model. The proposed algorithm which we refer to it as incremental augmented affine projection algorithm (incAAPA) utilizes the full second order statistical information in the complex domain. Moreover, it exploits spatio-temporal diversity to improv...
