Stochastic Behavior of the Nonnegative Least Mean Fourth Algorithm for Stationary Gaussian Inputs and Slow Learning
Some system identification problems impose nonnegativity constraints on the
parameters to estimate due to inherent physical characteristics of the unknown
system. The nonnegative least-mean-square (NNLMS) algorithm and its variants
allow to address this problem in an online manner. A nonnegative least mean
fourth (NNLMF) algorithm has been recently proposed to improve the performance
of these algorithms in cases where the measurement noise is not Gaussian. This
paper provides a first theoretical analysis of the stochastic behavior of the
NNLMF algorithm for stationary Gaussian inputs and slow learning. Simulation
results illustrate the accuracy of the proposed analysis.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, submitted for publicatio
