There are two major reasons for applying the bispectral approach: (1) the bispectrum carries the signal phase information, and can thus be used to estimate the signal waveform and not just its spectrum; (2) since the third order moments of a Gaussian noise are all zero, the bispectral estimator is a better estimator of a voiced speech signal in the presence of Gaussian noise. Two examples demonstrate the advantages of this approach.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":118653,"journal":{"name":"17th Convention of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in Israel","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131842926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors define the finite state predictability of the (infinite) sequence x/sub 1/ . . . z/sub n/ . . . as the minimum fraction of prediction errors that can be made by any such predictor, and prove that this can be achieved, upto an arbitrary small prescribed distance, for each individual sequence, by fully sequential guessing schemes. The rate at which the sequential guessing schemes approach the predictability is calculated. An efficient guessing procedure is based on the incremental parsing algorithm used in Lempel-Ziv data compression, and its fraction of errors also approaches the predictability of the sequence. Some relations between compressibility and predictability are discussed and use of the predictability as an additional measure for the complexity, or randomness, of the sequence is suggested.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":118653,"journal":{"name":"17th Convention of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in Israel","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131684716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
