To address the sparse system identification problem under noisy input and non-Gaussian output measurement noise, two novel types of sparse bias-compensated normalized maximum correntropy criterion algorithms are developed, which are capable of eliminating the impact of non-Gaussian measurement noise and noisy input. The first is developed by using the correntropy-induced metric as the sparsity penalty constraint, which is a smoothed approximation of the 0 norm. The second is designed using the proportionate update scheme, which facilitates the close tracking of system parameter change. Simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithms can effectively improve the identification performance compared with other algorithms presented in the literature for the sparse system identification problem.Entropy 2018, 20, 407 2 of 15 developed to address the SSI problem: one using the compressed sensing approach [17,18], and the other employing the proportionate update scheme [19]. At present, the zero attracting (ZA) algorithm and reweight zero attracting algorithm belonging to the former (such as ZANLMS [20], ZANLMF [21], ZAMCC [22] and General ZA-Proportionate Normalized MCC [23]) have been proposed based on the sparse penalty term (SPE). The correntropy-induced metric (CIM) [5], as an effective SPE, has been utilized to improve the performance of the algorithm in SSI, resulting in the CIM-NLMS, CIM-NLMF, CIM-LMMN, and CIM-MCC algorithms [22,24,25]. Correspondingly, the latter algorithms are proportionate-type AFAs (including proportionate NLMS [19], proportionate NLMF [26], proportionate MCC [27], and so on) which use the gain matrix to improve performance. Although those algorithms above make full use of the sparsity of the system, they lack consideration of the noisy input problem. As a result, more and more bias-compensated aware AFAs with the unbiasedness criterion have been developed to eliminate the influence from noisy input signals [28][29][30][31]. These include, for example, the bias-compensated NLMS (BCNLMS) algorithm [28][29][30], bias-compensated NLMF algorithm [31], bias-compensated affine projection algorithm [32], bias-compensated NMCC (BCNMCC) [33], and so on. However, they do not consider the sparsity of the system.On the basis of the analysis above, we develop two novel algorithms called bias-compensated NMCC with CIM penalty (CIM-BCNMCC) and bias-compensated proportionate NMCC (BCPNMCC) in this work. The former introduces the CIM into the BCNMCC algorithm, while the latter combines the unbiasedness criterion and the PNMCC algorithm. Both of them can achieve better performance than MCC, CIM-MCC, and BCNMCC for SSI under noisy input and non-Gaussian measurement noise.The rest of the paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, the BCNMCC algorithm is briefly reviewed. In Section 3, the CIM-BCNMCC and BCPNMCC algorithms are developed. In Section 4, simulation results are presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms. Finally, conclusions are made in Section 5.
