The system consists of a tri-array and a farm of processors producing the moment terms and fourth order cumulants respectively.

They use the second-order cumulant spectrum and the spectogram to initially qualify and identify the nonstationary structure of the seismic signals. Then after the modeling they use the second cumulant spectrum and the rational time-varying spectrum as measures of the statistical validity and/or significance of the model fits.

The theoretical context in which such bounds are developed and the indication as to how future bounds may conceivably be developed by using these techniques, is analysed. The methodology thus developed is applied to the determination of bounds for both continuous signals and discrete signals and it is shown there that the bounds for the corresponding cases can conceivably be vastly different, and the two cases appear to be converging only when the sampling frequency tends to infinity.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":439030,"journal":{"name":"[1993 Proceedings] IEEE Signal Processing Workshop on Higher-Order Statistics","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126456204","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}
