Diffusion MEEF with Variable-Center Algorithm Optimized by Joint Probability Density Matching and Entropy Weight Method
摘要
The minimum error entropy with fiducial points (MEEF) criterion has received increasing attention for its robustness in dealing with complex non-Gaussian noise environments. However, traditional MEEF often assumes that the center of the error distribution is fixed limiting performance under non-zero mean noise distribution. To address this issue, a variable-center MEEF (MEEF-VC) criterion is first defined in this paper, which can adaptively adjust the reference center of entropy estimation according to the characteristics of the error distribution to effectively capture non-zero-mean noise and dynamic error variations. Then, a novel robust diffusion MEEF-VC (DMEEF-VC) algorithm is developed by Adapt-Then-Combine strategy for distributed estimation over network. Moreover, the key parameters in DMEEF-VC (including bandwidth, center position and weighting factor) are optimized adaptively by probability density matching and entropy weight method. Simulation results show that the proposed DMEEF-VC exhibits robustness and accuracy enhancement in diffusion-based adaptive signal processing tasks compared with the traditional robust diffusion adaptive filtering algorithm.
