Signal Processing Seminar

Three easy pieces in statistical signal processing

Amir Leshem
Bar-Ilan University, Israel

I will describe some new results from estimation theory and networks dynamics. All the results are very simple and deal with very well known concepts in statistical signal processinfg.

The first will be the non existence of unbiased estimators in many constrained estimation problems. The second will describe a novel herding phenomenon in consensus based on actions The last will be novel bounds on the performance of LS estimators with finitely many samples and non Gaussian noise.

I will assume knowledge of basic estimation theory and will describe all the necessary probabilistic tools. Interestingly in all results advanced probability and measure theory play an important role.
