Robust Kalman Filters Based on the Sub-Gaussian -stable Distribution

Pengcheng Hao, Oktay Karakuş, Alin Achim

Motivated by filtering tasks under a linear system with non-Gaussian heavy-tailed noise, various robust Kalman filters (RKFs) based on different heavy-tailed distributions have bee…

Convergence Guarantees for Non-Convex Optimisation with Cauchy-Based Penalties

Oktay Karakus, Perla Mayo, Alin Achim

In this paper, we propose a proximal splitting methodology with a non-convex penalty function based on the heavy-tailed Cauchy distribution. We first suggest a closed-form expressi…

Beyond trans-dimensional RJMCMC with a case study in impulsive data modeling

Oktay Karakuş, Ercan E. Kuruoğlu, Mustafa A. Altınkaya

Reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) is a Bayesian model estimation method which has been used for trans-dimensional sampling. In this study, we propose utilization of…
