Minimum bias multiple taper spectral estimation
Kurt S. Riedel, Alexander Sidorenko
Two families of orthonormal tapers are proposed for multi-taper spectral analysis: minimum bias tapers, and sinusoidal tapers , where $v_n^{(k)}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{N…
A Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury Identity for Rank Augmenting Matrices with Application to Centering
Kurt S. Riedel
Matrices of the form are considered where is a matrix and is a nonsing…
A Hierarchy of Empirical Models of Plasma Profiles and Transport
Kaya Imre, Kurt S. Riedel, Beatrix Schunke
Two families of statistical models are presented which generalize global confinement expressions to plasma profiles and local transport coefficients. The temperature or diffusivity…
Optimal Boundary Kernels and Weightings for Local Polynomial Regression
Alexander Sidorenko, Kurt S. Riedel
Kernel smoothers are considered near the boundary of the interval. Kernels which minimize the expected mean square error are derived. These kernels are equivalent to using a linear…
Orthogonal Representations for Output System Pairs
Andrew Mullhaupt, Kurt Riedel
A new class of canonical forms is given proposed in which is in Hessenberg observer or Schur form and output normal: . Here, is the m…
Sufficient Conditions for a Linear Estimator to be a Local Polynomial Regression
Alexander Sidorenko, Kurt S. Riedel
It is shown that any linear estimator that satisfies the moment conditions up to order is equivalent to a local polynomial regression of order with some non-negative weight…
