Parameter estimation of CIG radar clutter using Bayes and right censored samples methods
摘要
In this paper, we develop censored maximum-likelihood estimation (CMLE) and Bayes estimation methods for the compound inverse Gaussian (CIG) clutter model shape parameter under Type-II right censoring. The joint likelihood function is derived, and numerical solutions for both CMLE and Bayes estimators are obtained for a known clutter mean parameter. For comparison purposes, standard MLE and [z log(z)] approaches are considered. Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations are conducted to evaluate estimator performance in terms of Bias and mean square error (MSE). Through simulated and Intelligent PIXel X-band radar (IPIX) real data, results show that Bayesian and CMLE estimator remain the most reliable, offering low bias and MSE, making them ideal for clutter modeling under censoring conditions.
