A regression model with a hidden logistic process for signal parametrization
This is an incremental improvement for signal processing applications.
The authors tackled signal parametrization by proposing a regression model with a hidden logistic process, estimating parameters via a dedicated EM algorithm, and reported good performance in experiments with simulated and real data.
A new approach for signal parametrization, which consists of a specific regression model incorporating a discrete hidden logistic process, is proposed. The model parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method performed by a dedicated Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. The parameters of the hidden logistic process, in the inner loop of the EM algorithm, are estimated using a multi-class Iterative Reweighted Least-Squares (IRLS) algorithm. An experimental study using simulated and real data reveals good performances of the proposed approach.
