Abstract:
A nonlinear adaptive method is presented for filtering a signal which is corrupted by spikes which take discrete values Mi with probability Pi at random points in time. An unsupervised learning technique is used to estimate the unknown parameters Mi, Pi, and oi. The spikes are then removed using a Bayes classifier. A theoretical and experimental comparison with the MMSE linear filter is presented.

01:02Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test
Sometimes, a data set can have a recorded numerical observation that greatly deviates from the rest of the data. Assuming that the data is normally distributed, a statistical method called the Grubbs test can be used to determine whether the observation is truly an outlier. To perform a two-tailed Grubbs test, first, calculate the absolute difference between the outlier and the mean. Then, calculate the ratio between this difference and the standard deviation of the sample. This number is...
01:00Detection of Gross Error: The Q Test
When one or more data points appear far from the rest of the data, there is a need to determine whether they are outliers and whether they should be eliminated from the data set to ensure an accurate representation of the measured value. In many cases, outliers arise from gross errors (or human errors) and do not accurately reflect the underlying phenomenon. In some cases, however, these apparent outliers reflect true phenomenological differences. In these cases, we can use statistical methods...
