The purpose of this paper is to determine whether the human body is a living person or not, using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. Taking into account the oscillatory characteristics of human respiration, the MIMO radar received signal model for a living person is developed, assuming that the chest displacement, respiration frequency, and reflection coefficients are deterministic but unknown. The living person detection problem can be formulated as a binary composite hypothesis testing, for which the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT)-based detector is derived. Further consider that the human respiration could be very weak, making the two hypotheses too close to be well distinguished. Tailored for deciding between two close hypotheses with unknown parameters, the generalized locally most powerful test (GLMPT) for MIMO radar living person detection is proposed. Theoretical performance analyses are provided for both the GLRT-based and GLMPT-based MIMO radar living person detectors. The closed-form expressions for the detection and false alarm probabilities of the GLMPT-based detector are derived for a given respiration frequency. Numerical examples are presented to evaluate the performance of the GLRT and GLMPT-based detectors in detecting living persons with weak respiration. The impacts of system parameters on detector performance are investigated.","PeriodicalId":13330,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing","volume":"73 ","pages":"2603-2615"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144237273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We extend to graphon signals the notion of removable and uniqueness sets, which was developed originally for the analysis of signals on graphs. We state the formal definition of a <inline-formula><tex-math>$Lambda-$</tex-math></inline-formula>removable set and conditions under which a bandlimited graphon signal can be represented uniquely when its samples are obtained from the complement of a <inline-formula><tex-math>$Lambda-$</tex-math></inline-formula>removable set in the graphon. By leveraging such results we show that graphon representations of graph signals can be used as a common framework to compare sampling sets between graphs with different numbers of nodes and node labelings. Additionally, given a sequence of graphs that converges to a graphon, we show that the sequences of sampling sets whose graphon representation is identical in <inline-formula><tex-math>$[0,1]$</tex-math></inline-formula> are convergent as well. We exploit the convergence results to provide an algorithm that obtains approximately close to optimal sampling sets in large graphs where traditional methods are intractable. Performing a set of numerical experiments, we evaluate the quality of these sampling sets. Our results open the door for the efficient computation of optimal sampling sets in large graphs relying on existing methods that can be applied in small graphs.","PeriodicalId":13330,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing","volume":"73 ","pages":"2480-2495"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144237261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Powerful deep learning methods for alpha factor mining lack interpretability, making them unacceptable in the risk-sensitive real markets. Formulaic alpha factors are preferred for their interpretability, while the search space is complex and powerful explorative methods are urged. Recently, a promising framework is proposed for generating formulaic alpha factors using deep reinforcement learning, and quickly gained research focuses from both academia and industries. This paper first argues that the originally employed policy training method, i.e., Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), faces several important issues in the context of alpha factors mining. Herein, a novel reinforcement learning algorithm based on the well-known REINFORCE algorithm is proposed. REINFORCE employs Monte Carlo sampling to estimate the policy gradient—yielding unbiased but high variance estimates. The minimal environmental variability inherent in the underlying state transition function, which adheres to the Dirac distribution, can help alleviate this high variance issue, making REINFORCE algorithm more appropriate than PPO. A new dedicated baseline is designed to theoretically reduce the commonly suffered high variance of REINFORCE. Moreover, the information ratio is introduced as a reward shaping mechanism to encourage the generation of steady alpha factors that can better adapt to changes in market volatility. Evaluations on real assets data indicate the proposed algorithm boosts correlation with returns by 3.83%, and a stronger ability to obtain excess returns compared to the latest alpha factors mining methods, which meets the theoretical results well.","PeriodicalId":13330,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing","volume":"73 ","pages":"2448-2463"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144218670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most existing fourth-order sparse arrays do not fully utilize the properties of the second-order sum co-array (SCA) that is also closely related to the fourth-order DCA. In this paper, a fourth-order sparse array design scheme from the sum-difference co-array perspective is proposed, which can be generated by two arbitrary arrays called generator arrays. Once the two generator arrays are determined, all sensor positions can be obtained with a closed-form expression. If the second-order SCA and DCA of the generator arrays have long consecutive segments without holes, the derived sparse array obtained through this scheme can achieve a large number of uDOFs. Besides, other characteristics of the generator arrays can also be inherited, such as robustness against mutual coupling or sensor failures. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed design in different applications.","PeriodicalId":13330,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing","volume":"73 ","pages":"2243-2254"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144218668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In conventional approaches, the target position is typically obtained by conducting exhaustive grid search for the peak of the test statistics. To reduce the errors due to grid mismatch, the number of grid cells needs to be large, leading to high computational complexity and hampering real-time processing capabilities. Moreover, these approaches are ineffective under strong direct-path interference. In this paper, an efficient factor graph approach for joint target detection and localization is proposed, which detects and localizes the target through parameter estimation, significantly reducing the computational complexity while maintaining high robustness. In particular, we introduce a binary target existence variable to represent the presence or absence of a target and reformulate the problem as the computation of the marginal posterior probabilities of unknown parameters. Then an efficient message passing algorithm is developed to solve the reformulated problem. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in various scenarios, while with much lower computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":13330,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing","volume":"73 ","pages":"2200-2215"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144201435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
