Abstract
In many problems of digital signal processing, it is required to determine a model matching the statistics of a given observation of a generally non-Gaussian random process. Because of the wide range of systems that can be represented by Volterra series and Wiener expansions, the discrete nonlinear second-order Wiener filter (NSWF) driven by white Gaussian noise has been used in this study to match the statistics of a discrete zero-mean stationary non-Gaussian random process. First, we derive the autocorrelation function and show that it does not provide sufficient information necessary for estimating the parameters of the proposed model. Next, we derive the third-order moment sequence and show that it provides additional information that can be used in conjunction with the autocorrelation function to solve the problem. The power spectrum and bispectrum of the discrete NSWF have been also derived.
