Nonlinear Bias-Compensated Adaptive Filter and Its Application for Time-Series Prediction
For practitioners of nonlinear adaptive filtering, this work incrementally improves upon the BCKLMS algorithm by enhancing robustness and input signal characterization.
The paper proposes the RFFBCGA algorithm to address input noise and non-Gaussian output noise in nonlinear adaptive filtering, achieving improved robustness and signal characterization. Simulations show superior performance in time-series prediction.
Most existing nonlinear adaptive filtering algorithms only account for output noise, neglecting the fact that input noise is also prevalent in practice. Although the recently proposed bias-compensated kernel least mean square (BCKLMS) algorithm addresses input noise in the nonlinear errors-in-variables (EIV) model, it still suffers from two major limitations. First, the use of a fixed-size dictionary restricts network growth but also prevents it from fully capturing the characteristics of the input signal. Second, as an least mean square (LMS) based algorithm, it exhibits poor robustness in the presence of non-Gaussian noise in the output signal. To overcome these issues, this paper proposes the random Fourier bias-compensated filter under general adaptive function (RFFBCGA) algorithm. Within the random Fourier feature based bias-compensated (RFFBC) framework, the proposed algorithm not only maintains a fixed network structure and effectively mitigates input noise interference through the BC term, but also achieves improved characterization of the input signal. Moreover, by leveraging the flexible form of the general adaptive (GA) function, the algorithm's robustness across various noise scenarios is further enhanced. Extensive simulations, including real-world time series prediction tasks, demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.
