MEEF criterion-based spline adaptive filtering algorithm and its application

This paper presents an innovative the minimum error entropy with fiducial points (MEEF)-based spline adaptive filtering (S-AF) algorithm, called SAF-MEEF algorithm, which outperforms the conventional SAF algorithms that use the mean square error (MSE) criterion in reducing non-Gaussian interference. To overcome the limitation of the fixed step-size, a variable step-size strategy is also developed, resulting in the SAF-VMEEF algorithm, which improves the convergence speed and steady-state error performance. Furthermore, the computational complexity and convergence analysis of the SAF-MEEF are discussed. Nonlinear system identification simulations test the performance of the presented algorithms. Furthermore, this article accomplishes the application of nonlinear active noise control (ANC). Their effectiveness and robustness against non-Gaussian noise are demonstrated in different experimental scenarios, including α-stable noise, real-world functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) noise, and real-life server room (SR) noise.
