On Conditions for Linearity of Optimal Estimation
—When is optimal estimation linear? It is well-known that, in the case of a Gaussian source contaminated with Gaussian noise, a linear estimator minimizes the mean square estimat...

Towards Bayesian estimator selection for QuikSCAT wind and rain estimation
The QuikSCAT scatterometer infers wind vectors over the ocean using measurements of the surface backscatter. During rain events the QuikSCAT observations are subject to rain conta...
