Overview
Non-parametric methods: not incorporate information
about the process
Parametric methods incorporate available information
about the process can help to estimate spectrum more
accurately and with higher resolution
The steps of parametric methods:
Select an appropriate model (AR, MA, ARMA…)
Estimate the model parameters from given data
Incorporate the estimated parameters to the parametric form of
the spectrum 2
Overview
Parametric methods can significantly improve spectrum
resolution
Important: Appropriate model must be chosen !

Autoregressive (AR) spectrum
estimation
An AR process can be represented as the output of an
all-poles filter that is driven by unit variance white noise
The power spectrum of a p-order AR process is
4
AutoRegressive (AR) spectrum
estimation
If the coefficients b(0) and ap(k) are estimated, the
power spectrum may be estimated as follows:
6
The autocorrelation method
Find out the coefficients ap(k) by solving the normal
equations (Yule-Walker method)
where
b(0) is computed as
7
The covariance method
Find out the coefficients ap(k) by solving a set of linear
equations
where
8
The modified covariance
method
Like the covariance method, but replace the estimation
of the autocorrelation coefficients

Moving Average spectrum
estimation
A moving average process may be generated by
filtering unit variance white noise with a FIR filter
14
Moving Average spectrum
estimation
The power spectrum can also be represented in term of
autocorrelations
where

Two methods for the spectrum estimation
Using an estimate of autocorrelation (Blackman-Tukey)
