“…Statistical filtering techniques include the L-estimators [16], [19], [26], the M-estimators [10], [9], and the more recent techniques based on higher order statistics [20], [22], [25]. The Fourier domain methods are based on the extraction of regularity by imposing some growth conditions on the signal, which reduces the space of admissible solutions to functions of given type and order, e.g., entire functions of exponential type [8], [21], [28], functions of polynomial growth [2], [11], [15], etc. In these methods, regularity is defined in a global sense based on Riemann's lemma (see [13, pp.…”
