This work is devoted to analyzing adaptive filtering algorithms with the use of sign-regressor for randomly time-varying parameters (a discrete-time Markov chain). In accordance with different adaption and transition rates, we analyze the corresponding asymptotic properties of the algorithms. When the adaptation rate is in line with the transition rate, we obtain a limit of a Markov switched differential equation. When the Markov chain is slowly changing the parameter process is almost a constant, and we derive a limit differential equation. When the Markov chain is fast varying, the limit system is again a differential equation that is an average with respect to the stationary distribution of the Markov chain. In addition to the limit dynamic systems, we obtain asymptotic properties of centered and scaled tracking errors. We obtain mean square errors to illustrate the dependence on the stepsize as well as on the transition rate. The limit distributions in terms of scaled errors are studied by examining certain centered and scaled error sequences. 0 0 , i = 1, . . . , r, and 1A is the indicator of A.Our new contributions in this paper are featured by the following distinct characteristics. First we develop signregressor algorithms for time-varying parameters modeled by a stochastic process. Moreover, we concentrate on multiscale structures. Note that the sign-regressor algorithms naturally come into play due to the application requirement. The salient feature of the time-varying parameter is highlighted in the Markov structure. In our setup, there are two inherent time scales. The Markov chain's state changes with its transition frequency described by a small parameter e. On the other hand, the stepsize of the approximation sequence is m. Interaction between e and m results multiscale structures. We use "«" or "»", the standard mathematical ("essentially less than" or "essentially greater than") notation. That is, both m → 0 and e → 0, but m → 0 much faster than e or m/e → 0. Likewise, the use of O(·) and o(·) follows standard notation. For example, e = O(m 1+d ) for some d > 0 means that e is the same order as that of m 1+d , which can also be written as e « m. In accordance with the relative size, we have three cases to consider: (a) m = O(e): the adaptation rate is in line with that of the transition rate of the parameter; (b) m » e: the time-varying parameter changes much slower than that of the stepsize; (c) m « e: the parameter process is fast changing. Corresponding to each of the cases, the asymptotic behavior is fundamentally different. We analyze the behavior of the algorithms and provide insight on their asymptotic properties.The rest of the paper is arranged as follows. Section II presents the precise formulation of the problem. Section III analyzes convergence properties of the algorithms. Section IV proceeds with mean square type estimates. Section V obtains asymptotic distributions of the algorithms and reveals the tracking ability by means of examining scaled tracking error sequences. Section VI g...
