Advanced Topics in High-Order Statistics

Objectif

High-order statistics (HOS) have received increasing interest for several years because of their ability to address some problems that have remained unsolved using conventional techniques. However, due to their recent emergence and their often high computational load, very few algorithms developed for this purpose are used in operational systems. Theoretical topics as well as applications to real world problems are investigated in this working group.
High order statistics (HOS) may be seen as emerging techniques in the areas of signal processing and automatic control. The research addresses theoretical questions related to HOS, and also investigates their performance in various applications, as well as specific algorithms and architectures.

One of the most promising areas of application is communications. Blind multichannel equalisation is a typical example where HOS can be very efficient.
Activities of ATHOS include: visits of researchers or student researchers for durations ranging from one week to two months; yearly meetings; participation in workshops on HOS; participation in relevant international conferences, the organisation of courses on HOS; and the organisation of international workshops open to external participants. An extension of the cooperation to American colleagues is expected with the help of the European Commission and the National Science Foundation.

POTENTIAL

The credibility of the advanced algorithms developed by some of the partners is increased after use by others, and makes them more accessible to a wider audience. Confidence in HOS-based techniques is also improved through courses given to the non-specialist scientific community. A better understanding of the HOS potential is expected by partners from the feedback received from other institutions, whether involved in the working group or not. Since industrial applications are already known and under study, it is hoped that HOS advanced techniques will be effectively utilised in operational systems in the longer term.
