The unscented transformation (UT) is an efficient method to solve the state estimation problem for a non-linear dynamic system, utilizing a derivative-free higher-order approximation by approximating a Gaussian distribution rather than approximating a non-linear function. Applying the UT to a Kalman filter type estimator leads to the well-known uns...

In this brief, a robust and sparse recursive adaptive filtering algorithm, called convex regularized recursive maximum correntropy (CR-RMC), is derived by adding a general convex regularization penalty term to the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC). An approximate expression for automatically selecting the regularization parameter is also introduc...
Conference Paper
The nonlinear spline adaptive filtering under least mean square (SAF-LMS) uses the mean square error (MSE) based cost function to identify the Wiener-type nonlinear systems, which is rational under the assumption of Gaussian distributions. However, the mere second-order statistics are often not suitable for nonlinear and/or non-Gaussian systems. To...

In this paper, we propose a novel error criterion for adaptive filtering, namely the smoothed least mean p-power (SLMP) error criterion, which aims to minimize the mean p-power of the error plus an independent and scaled smoothing variable. Some important properties of the SLMP criterion are presented. In particular, we show that if the smoothing v...
