Probability in Statistics

22.4K
Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring. The term event is defined as a collection of results of a procedure. An event is a simple event when an outcome cannot be divided into simpler parts.
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...

Probability Histograms

13.2K
A probability histogram is a visual representation of a probability distribution. Similar a typical histogram, the probability histogram consists of contiguous (adjoining) boxes. It has both a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. The horizontal axis is labeled with what the data represents. The vertical axis is labeled with probability. Each rectangular bar in the histogram is 1 unit wide, which suggests that the area under each bar equals the probability, P(x), where x is 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Probability Distributions

 The probability of a random variable x  is the likelihood of its occurrence. A probability distribution represents the probabilities of a random variable using a formula, graph, or table. There are two types of probability distribution– discrete probability distribution and continuous probability distribution.
A discrete probability distribution is a probability distribution of discrete random variables. It can be categorized into binomial probability distribution and Poisson...

Passive Filters01:27

Passive Filters

964
Passive filters are utilized to shape the frequency spectrum of signals across a diverse array of applications. These filters, using only passive elements like resistors (R), inductors (L), and capacitors (C), are capable of selectively allowing or blocking certain frequency ranges without the need for external power sources.
Low-Pass Filters
Low-pass filters are designed to transmit signals with frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency, ωc, and attenuate those above it. The cutoff...

Binomial Probability Distribution01:15

Binomial Probability Distribution

15.3K
A binomial distribution is a probability distribution for a procedure with a fixed number of trials, where each trial can have only two outcomes.
The outcomes of a binomial experiment fit a binomial probability distribution. A statistical experiment can be classified as a binomial experiment if the following conditions are met:
There are a fixed number of trials. Think of trials as repetitions of an experiment. The letter n denotes the number of trials.
There are only two possible outcomes,...

Area of Science:

  • Radar Systems Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Estimation Theory

Background:

  • Multi-target tracking performance degrades significantly under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions, leading to decreased detection probability.
  • Continuous miss detections in radar systems adversely affect the accuracy and reliability of multi-target tracking algorithms.
  • Existing algorithms like standard PHD, CPHD, and CBMeMBer filters struggle with degraded performance in low detection probability scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel heuristic method, the Refined PHD (R-PHD) filter, for enhancing multi-target tracking under low detection probability.
  • To improve the robustness of tracking algorithms against miss detections caused by low target echo signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
  • To effectively distinguish real targets from false alarms in real-time using sequential probability ratio tests.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a sequential Monte Carlo approach based on the Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) filter.
  • Definition of a target state-dependent survival probability and labeling of individual targets and associated particles.
  • Revision of posterior particle weights during the prediction step to account for miss detections.
  • Transformation of target confirmation into a hypothesis testing problem solved by sequential probability ratio tests.

Main Results:

  • The proposed R-PHD filter demonstrates superior performance compared to standard PHD, CPHD, and CBMeMBer filters.
  • The method effectively mitigates performance degradation caused by low detection probabilities and continuous miss detections.
  • Computer simulations validate the R-PHD filter's effectiveness across various detection probabilities, false alarm rates, and miss detection durations.

Conclusions:

  • The R-PHD filter offers a significant improvement for multi-target tracking in challenging low detection probability environments.
  • The heuristic approach effectively handles miss detections by revising particle weights and employing sequential probability ratio tests for target confirmation.
  • This research provides a more robust solution for radar systems requiring reliable multi-target tracking under adverse conditions.
