Radio interferometers are phased arrays producing high-resolution images from the covariance matrix of measurements. Calibration of such instruments is necessary and is a critical task. This is how the estimation of instrumental errors is usually …
Covariance matrix tapers have a long history in signal processing and related fields. Examples of applications include autoregressive models (promoting a banded structure) or beamforming (widening the spectral null width associated with an …
This paper tackles the problem of robust covariance matrix estimation when the data is incomplete. Classical statistical estimation methodologies are usually built upon the Gaussian assumption, whereas existing robust estimation ones assume …
This paper studies a statistical model for heteroscedastic (i.e., power fluctuating) signals embedded in white Gaussian noise. Using the Riemannian geometry theory, we propose an unified approach to tackle several problems related to this model. The …
In this paper, robust mean and covariance matrix estimation are considered in the context of mixed-effects models. Such models are widely used to analyze repeated measures data which arise in several signal processing applications that need to …
In this paper, we propose a new estimator of the covariance matrix parameters when observations follow a mixture of a deterministic Compound-Gaussian (CG) and a white Gaussian noise. In particular, the covariance matrix of the CG contribution is …
This paper proposes a framework for optimizing cost functions of orthonormal basis learning problems, such as principal component analysis (PCA), subspace recovery, orthogonal dictionary learning, etc. The optimization algorithm is derived using the …
This paper proposes an original Riemmanian geometry for low-rank structured elliptical models, i.e., when samples are elliptically distributed with a covariance matrix that has a low-rank plus identity structure. The considered geometry is the one …
The estimation of covariance matrices is a core problem in many modern adaptive signal processing applications. For matrix- and array-valued data, e.g., MIMO communication, EEG/MEG (time versus channel), the covariance matrix of vectorized data may …
This article derives a new change detector for multivariate synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image time series (ITS). Classical statistical change detection methodologies based on covariance matrix analysis are usually built upon the Gaussian …
