In general, theoretical analyses of adaptive filtering algorithms employ statistical approximations in order to render the derivations tractable. Among such hypotheses, the statistical independence between the current adaptive coefficients and past input vectors is a very popular one. Unfortunately, this simplification gives rise to discrepancies with respect to empirical results, especially for large values of the step-size parameter. In this Letter, this issue is overcome by the usage of an exact expectation analysis (i.e. a stochastic model that does not employ the above-mentioned independence assumption) of the least-mean-squares adaptive algorithm. The authors analysis is also generalised in order to address the common case of coloured additive noise, an issue that is so far missing from the literature. The accuracy of the advanced model is verified through simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
