• Title: A Fast and Simple Algorithm for computing the MLE of Amplitude Density Function Parameters
• Authors: Mahdi Teimouri
• Abstract summary: In this work, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is proposed for parameters of the amplitude distribution. It is proved that the emphprojected data follow a zero-location symmetric $alpha$-stale distribution for which the MLE can be computed quite fast. The average of computed MLEs based on two emphprojections is considered as estimator for parameters of the amplitude distribution.

• Abstract: Over the last decades, the family of $\alpha$-stale distributions has proven to be useful for modelling in telecommunication systems. Particularly, in the case of radar applications, finding a fast and accurate estimation for the amplitude density function parameters appears to be very important. In this work, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is proposed for parameters of the amplitude distribution. To do this, the amplitude data are \emph{projected} on the horizontal and vertical axes using two simple transformations. It is proved that the \emph{projected} data follow a zero-location symmetric $\alpha$-stale distribution for which the MLE can be computed quite fast. The average of computed MLEs based on two \emph{projections} is considered as estimator for parameters of the amplitude distribution. Performance of the proposed \emph{projection} method is demonstrated through simulation study and analysis of two sets of real radar data.

  This paper describes a novel non-parametric noise reduction technique from the point of view of Bayesian inference. It iteratively evaluates possible smoothed versions of the data, the smooth models, obtaining an estimation of the underlying signal. Iterations stop based on the evidence and the $chi2$ statistic of the last smooth model, and we compute the expected value of the signal.

A normalizing flow is an invertible mapping on a sample space that can be used to induce a transformation from a simple probability distribution to a more complex one. We build a more powerful latent variable model by incorporating autoregressive flows within the variational autoencoder framework.
