The key to our method is the design of an inverse covariance estimator which is appropriately optimized for the MVDR application. This is obtained by exploiting spectral properties of spiked covariance models in random matrix theory. Our proposed solution is simple to implement and is shown to yield performance improvements over competing approaches.","PeriodicalId":330528,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122111441","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}

Tensor data analysis have witnessed increasing applications in machine learning, data mining and computer vision. Traditional tensor decomposition methods such as Tucker decomposition and PARAFAC/CP decomposition aim to factorize the input tensor into a number of low-rank factors. However, they are prone to gross error that may occur due to illumination, occlusion or salt and pepper noise encountered in practical applications. For this purpose, higher order robust PCA (HoRPCA) and other robust tensor decomposition (RTD) methods have been proposed. These methods still have some limitations including sensitivity to non-sparse noise and high computational complexity. In this paper, we introduce a two-stage approach that combines HoRPCA with Higher Order SVD (HoSVD) to address these challenges.","PeriodicalId":330528,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116598277","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}

Major uncertainties in CML rainfall estimation arise from hardware related attenuation, which is difficult to quantify. The contribution suggests using close-by CMLs to quantify this attenuation. The approach is tested on two years of data from three CMLs operating at 38 GHz. The results show that hardware related attenuation can reach more than 10 dB and that these extreme values are associated with heavy rainfalls. However, high attenuation values can occur also during light rainfalls and dew events. We suggest, that hardware related attenuation follows different functional relation during light and during heavy rainfalls. During light rainfalls (and dew events), attenuation gradually increases, however, during heavy rainfalls it is rather dependent on rainfall intensity.","PeriodicalId":330528,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120956924","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}

However, such successes have mostly remained confined to univariate data analysis while many applications in the modern “data deluge” era involve multivariate and dependent data. Operator fractional Brownian motion is a multivariate self-similar model that accounts for multivariate scale-free dynamics and characterizes data by means of a vector of self-similarity exponents (eigenvalues). This naturally raises the challenging question of testing the equality of exponents. Expanding on the recently proposed wavelet eigenvalue regression estimator of the vector of self-similarity exponents, in the present work we construct and study a wavelet domain bootstrap test for the equality of self-similarity exponents from one single observation (time series) of multivariate data. Its performance is assessed in a bivariate setting for various choices of sample size and model parameters, and it is shown to be satisfactory for use on real world data. Practical routines implementing estimation and testing are available upon request.","PeriodicalId":330528,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129893681","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 problem is an ill-posed inverse problem in general, and thus judiciously designed formulations and algorithms are needed for good HSR performance. In this work, we employ the idea of low rank modeling, which was proven effective in helping enhance performance of HSR. Unlike the extensively employed nonconvex structured matrix factorization-based methods, we propose to use a convex regularizer for promoting low rank. Both unconstrained and constrained formulations are considered: the unconstrained case is tackled by the proximal gradient (PG) algorithm; while the more physically sound but challenging constrained case is solved by a custom-designed PG like algorithm, which uses the ideas of smoothing and majorization-minimization. Simulations are employed to showcase the effectiveness of the proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":330528,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133178254","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}

In contrast to conventional batch Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA)—which needs to access full data—our method processes a data vector of the sequence per time instance from a small number of measurements. The $n-ell _{1}$ cluster-weighted minimization promotes (i) the structure of the sparse components and (ii) their correlation with multiple previously-recovered sparse vectors via clustering and re-weighting iteratively. We establish guarantees on the number of measurements required for successful compressive decomposition under the assumption of slowly-varying low-rank components.
