“Fast Estimation of the Parameters of Alpha-Stable Impulsive Interference”
by George A. Tsihrintzis and Chrysostomos L. Nikias
September 1994
We address the problem of estimation of the parameters of the recently proposed symmetric, alpha-stable model for impulsive interference. We propose new estimators based on asymptotic extreme value theory, order statistics, and fractional lower-order moments, which can be computed fast and are, therefore, suitable for the design of real-time signal processing algorithms. The performance of the new estimators is theoretically evaluated, verified via Monte-Carlo simulation, and compared to the performance of maximum likelihood estimators.
