Correntropy: Properties and Applications in Non-Gaussian Signal Processing

The optimality of second-order statistics depends heavily on the assumption of Gaussianity. In this paper, we elucidate further the probabilistic and geometric meaning of the recently defined correntropy function as a localized similarity measure. A close relationship between correntropy and M-estimation is established. Connections and differences between correntropy and kernel methods are presented. As such correntropy has vastly different properties compared with second-order statistics that can be very useful in non-Gaussian signal processing, especially in the impulsive noise environment. Examples are presented to illustrate the technique.

Maximization of Nonlinear Autocorrelation for Blind Source Separation of Non-stationary Complex Signals

Blind source separation of complex-valued signals has been a vital issue especially in the field of digital communication signal processing. This paper proposes a novel method based on nonlinear autocorrelation to solve the problem. Relying on the temporal structure with nonlinear autocorrelation of the signals, the method has a potential capability of extracting non-stationary complex sources with Gaussian or non-Gaussian distribution. Most traditional methods would fail in separating this kind of sources. We also analyze the stability conditions of the method in theory. Numerical simulations on artificial complex Gaussian data and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing sources corroborate the validity and efficiency of the proposed method. Moreover, with respect to classical methods, including cumulant-based approach using the non-stationarity of variance and complexity pursuit, our method offers equally good results with lower computational cost and better robustness. Finally, experiments for the separation of real communication signals illustrate that our method has good prospects in real-world applications.     

基于最大相关熵准则的恒模盲均衡算法

针对恒模算法(constant modulus algorithm, CMA)在脉冲噪声环境下性能退化的问题,本文基于最大相关熵准则(maximum correntropy criterion, MCC)对恒模算法中基于最小均方误差(mean square error, MSE)准则的代价函数进行修正,推导出适用于脉冲噪声环境的基于MCC准则的恒模盲均衡算法(MCC_CMA)。该算法利用通信信号的恒模特性,首先得到发送信号与均衡器输出信号模值的误差信号,再通过使模值误差信号的相关熵最大来获得其迭代误差调节项,避免了传统高阶统计量算法在脉冲噪声环境下性能退化的问题。对高斯噪声以及α-稳定分布和混合高斯分布两种脉冲噪声环境下的信道均衡问题的仿真实验表明,相对于经典的自适应恒模盲均衡算法,MCC_CMA算法不依赖噪声的先验知识就能获得较快的收敛速度、较低的剩余码间干扰和误码率,并且在不同脉冲强度的脉冲噪声环境下都能够得到较好的均衡结果,表明MCC_CMA算法具有很好的鲁棒性。      

Correntropy: Implications of nonGaussianity for the moment expansion and deconvolution

The recently introduced correntropy function is an interesting and useful similarity measure between two random variables which has found myriad applications in signal processing. A series expansion for correntropy in terms of higher-order moments of the difference between the two random variables has been used to try to explain its statistical properties for uses such as deconvolution. We examine the existence and form of this expansion, showing that it may be divergent, e.g., when the difference has the Laplace distribution, and give sufficient conditions for its existence for differently characterized sub-Gaussian distributions. The contribution of the higher-order moments can be quite surprising, depending on the size of the Gaussian kernel in the definition of the correntropy. In the blind deconvolution setting we demonstrate that statistical exchangeability explains the existence of sub-optimal minima in the correntropy cost surface and show how the positions of these minima are controlled by the size of the Gaussian kernel.     

Applications of cumulants to array processing. II. Non-Gaussiannoise suppression

The main motivation of using higher order statistics in signal processing applications has been their insensitivity to additive colored Gaussian noise. The main objection to those methods is their possible vulnerability to non-Gaussian noise. The authors investigate the effects of non-Gaussian ambient noise on cumulant-based direction-finding systems using the interpretation for the information provided by cumulants for array processing applications described in Dogan and Mendek. they first demonstrate the suppression of uncorrelated non-Gaussian noise that has spatially varying statistics. Then, they indicate methods to suppress spatially colored non-Gaussian noise using cumulants and an additional sensor whose measurement noise component is independent of the noise components of the original array measurements. They also indicate the noise suppression properties of the virtual-ESPRIT algorithm proposed in Dogan and Mendel. In addition, they propose a method that combines second- and fourth-order statistics together in order to suppress spatially colored non-Gaussian noise. Finally, they also illustrate how to suppress spatially colored non-Gaussian noise when the additional sensor measurement is not available. Simulations are presented to verify the results
