Alternative interpretation of maximum entropy spectral analysis (Corresp.)

A. van den Bos

Open publisher page 269 citations

Abstract

Maximum entropy spectral analysis is a method for the estimation of power spectra with a higher resolution than can be obtained with conventional techniques. This is achieved by extrapolation of the autocorrelation function in such a way that the entropy of the corresponding probability density function is maximized in each step of the extrapolation. This correspondence also gives a simple interpretation of the method without entropy considerations.
