This work presents a statistical analysis of a class of jointly optimized beamformer-assisted acoustic echo cancelers (AEC) with the beamformer (BF) implemented in the Generalized Sidelobe Canceler (GSC) form and using the least-mean square (LMS) algorithm. The analysis considers the possibility of independent convergence control for the BF and the AEC. The resulting models permit the study of system performance under typical handling of double-talk and channel changes. We show that the joint optimization of the BF-AEC is equivalent to a linearly-constrained minimum variance problem. Hence, the derived analytical model can be used to predict the transient performance of general adaptive wideband beamformers. We study the transient and steady-state behaviors of the residual mean echo power for stationary Gaussian inputs. A convergence analysis leads to stability bounds for the step-size matrix and design guidelines are derived from the analytical models. Monte Carlo simulations illustrate the accuracy of the theoretical models and the applicability of the proposed design guidelines. Examples include operation under mild degrees of nonstationarity. Finally, we show how a high convergence rate can be achieved using a quasi-Newton adaptation scheme in which the step-size matrix is designed to whiten the combined input vector.
In this paper, we develop asymptotic theories for a class of latent variable models for large-scale multi-relational networks. In particular, we establish consistency results and asymptotic error bounds for the (penalized) maximum likelihood estimato
The features of a logically sound approach to a theory of statistical reasoning are discussed. A particular approach that satisfies these criteria is reviewed. This is seen to involve selection of a model, model checking, elicitation of a prior, chec
We study the statistical properties of stochastic evolution equations driven by space-only noise, either additive or multiplicative. While forward problems, such as existence, uniqueness, and regularity of the solution, for such equations have been s
There are various approaches to the problem of how one is supposed to conduct a statistical analysis. Different analyses can lead to contradictory conclusions in some problems so this is not a satisfactory state of affairs. It seems that all approach
We study the variable selection problem in survival analysis to identify the most important factors affecting the survival time when the variables have prior knowledge that they have a mutual correlation through a graph structure. We consider the Cox
