P. Stoica et A. Nehorai, ON THE CONCENTRATED STOCHASTIC LIKELIHOOD FUNCTION IN ARRAY SIGNAL-PROCESSING, Circuits, systems, and signal processing, 14(5), 1995, pp. 669-674
The stochastic likelihood function [(STO)LF] associated with the narro
wband signal processing problem can be concentrated with respect to th
e signal covariance matrix elements and the noise power. Although this
is a known fact, no clear-cut derivation of the concentrated (STO)LF
appears to be available in the literature. In this short paper we prov
ide a simple, complete proof of the concentrated (STO)LF formula.
