We design a statistical hypothesis test for performing leak detection in water pipeline channels. By applying an appropriate model for signal propagation, we show that the detection problem becomes one of distinguishing signal from noise, with the noise being described by a multivariate Gaussian dis…
We consider a robust version of regularized discriminant analysis (RDA) classifiers to account for potential spurious or mislabeled observations in the training data set. To build a robust discriminant rule, a robust estimation of the covariance matrix is essential. In this work, we propose to use a…
We investigate the achievable uplink rate of multi-cell massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems considering pilot reuse across cells. Based on tractable approximations for the achievable rates, we derive the optimal pilot length to maximize the sum rate per cell. Interestingly, it is found t…
Building on recent results in the random matrix analysis of robust estimators of scatter, we show that a certain class of such estimators obtained from samples containing outliers behaves similar to a well-known random matrix model in the limiting regime where both the population and sample sizes gr…
