Abstract

An important engineering concept is that of modeling signals and systems in a manner that enables their study, analysis and control. We seek models that are relatively easy to compute or estimate, yet at the same time provide insight into the salient characteristics of the signals or systems under study. One way to control the complexity of such models is through the use of parametric models. These are models that explicitly depend on a fixed number of parameters. In this chapter, we explore parametric models for signals ...
