in this paper a new algorithm is presented for coherent radar detection of targets, when distribution of the interference (clutter and noise) is non-gaussian. the neyman-pearson criterion is used for optimal detection and several successive received samples from a radar range cell are used for detection in the same cell. on the basis of recent empirical evidences, the interference distribution ...

The Bayesian inference approach to the inverse problem of spectral signal recovery has been extended to mixtures of Gaussian probability distributions of a training dataset in order to increase the efficiency of estimating the spectral signal from the response of a transformation system. Bayesian (BIC) and Akaike (AIC) information criteria were assessed in order to provide the Gaussian mixture ...

This article discusses statistical models for solar flare interval distribution in individual active regions. We analyzed solar flare data in 55 active regions that are listed in the Geosynchronous Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) soft X-ray flare catalog for the years from 1981 to 2005. We discuss some problems with a conventional procedure to derive probability density functions fro...

Methods for simulation of two-dimensional signals with arbitrary power spectral densities and signal amplitude probability density functions are disclosed. The method relies on initially transforming a white noise sample set of random Gaussian distributed numbers into a corresponding set with the desired spectral distribution, after which this colored Gaussian probability distribution is transf...

Gaussian assumption is the most well-known and widely used distribution in many fields such as engineering, statistics and physics. One of the major reasons why the Gaussian distribution has become so prominent is because of the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) and the fact that the distribution of noise in numerous engineering systems is well captured by the Gaussian distribution. Moreover, feature...
