Robust nonparametric regression by controlling sparsity
Nonparametric methods are widely applicable to statistical learning problems, since they rely on a few modeling assumptions. In this context, the fresh look advocated here permeat...

An efficient rank-deficient computation of the Principle of Relevant Information
One of the main difficulties in computing information theoretic learning (ITL) estimators is the computational complexity that grows quadratically with data. Considerable amount ...

Blind channel estimation for MPSK-based amplify-and-forward two-way relaying
We consider the problem of channel estimation for amplify-andforward (AF) two-way relay networks (TWRNs). The majority of works on this problem develop pilot-based algorithms that...

OFO estimation methods with wide acquisition ranges for MB-OFDM-based UWB systems
In MB-OFDM-based UWB systems, the different CFOs for different bands can be obtained by only estimating the OFO. To achieve OFO estimators with wide estimation ranges, we benefit...

Source number estimation in impulsive noise environments using bootstrap techniques and robust statistics
We consider the problem of source number estimation in array processing when impulsive noise is present. To combat impulsive noise more effectively, two robust estimators with hig...

Entropy estimation using the principle of maximum entropy
In this paper, we present a novel entropy estimator for a given set of samples drawn from an unknown probability density function (PDF). Counter to other entropy estimators, the e...

Log-spectral amplitude estimation with Generalized Gamma distributions for speech enhancement
This paper presents a family of log-spectral amplitude (LSA) estimators for speech enhancement. Generalized Gamma distributed (GGD) priors are assumed for speech short-time spectr...
