Signal estimation using an array of recorders

This paper considers the problem of signal estimation in the case where the signal is received by an array of recorders. Because of the spatial configuration of the array the individual recorders will, at any instant of time, receive lagged forms of the signal. Moreover the lags in question will often be frequency dependent. An estimation procedure is proposed and its asymptotic properties investigated. The optimum orientation of such arrays is also discussed.     

Signal modeling using the gradient search

This letter presents a new method for continuous signal modeling. Firstly, the continuous signal can be represented as a function of the trigonometric functional extension (Fourier series). Fourier series of the signal are parameterized by the fundamental frequency and unknown parameters. Then, the gradient-based iterative identification algorithm is derived, for estimating parameters of the signal model with known and unknown frequencies, separately. Finally, the simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm is effective.     

Estimation of the stochastic leverage effect using the Fourier transform method

We define a non-parametric estimator of the integrated leverage effect as the integrated covariation between the logarithmic asset price and its volatility. In Curato and Sanfelici (2015), a consistent estimator of the leverage effect has been introduced through a pre-estimate of the Fourier coefficients of the volatility. This is a novel approach compared to the ones present in the literature which use a pre-estimate of the spot volatility path. In this paper, we show the asymptotic normality of the Fourier estimator for non-equidistant observations. Moreover, its finite sample properties are analyzed in a simulation study also in the presence of microstructure noise.     

Parameter and state estimation algorithm for single-input single-output linear systems using the canonical state space models

This paper presents a new parameter and state estimation algorithm for single-input single-output systems based on canonical state space models from the given input–output data. Difficulties of identification for state space models lie in that there exist unknown noise terms in the formation vector and unknown state variables. By means of the hierarchical identification principle, those noise terms in the information vector are replaced with the estimated residuals and a new least squares algorithm is proposed for parameter estimation and the system states are computed by using the estimated parameters. Finally, an example is provided.     

Multivariate time series analysis

Some key theorems in the asymptotic theory for multivariate time series, using spectrl methods, are established. These theorems relate to various estimation situations including multiple systems of regressions, the determination of the frequency of a periodic signal and the determination of the velocity of a signal propagated through a dispersive medium and received with noise at a number of recorders. The theorems are of a general kind and relate to the almost sure convergence of averages of the periodogram and to the limiting covariance properties and the central limit theorem for such averages. Some brief indications are given concerning extensions of the results to cases where processes are observed that are stationary in time and homogenous with respect to spatial translation.     

Parameter estimation in metabolic flux balance models for batch fermentation—Formulation & Solution using Differential Variational Inequalities (DVIs)

Recent years have witnessed a surge in research in cellular biology. There has been particular interest in the interaction between cellular metabolism and its environment. In this work we present a framework for fitting fermentation models that include this interaction. Differential equations describe the evolution of extracellular metabolites, while a Linear Program (LP) models cell metabolism, and piecewise smooth functions model the links between cell metabolism and its environment. We show that the fermentation dynamics can be described using Differential Variational Inequalities (DVIs). Discretization of the system and reformulation of the VIs using optimality conditions converts the DVI to a Mathematical Program with Complementarity Constraints (MPCC). We briefly describe an interior point algorithm for solving MPCCs. Encouraging numerical results are presented in estimating model parameters to fit model prediction and data obtained from fermentation, using cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae reported in the literature.
