Si. Shah et al., INFORMATIVE PRIORS FOR MINIMUM CROSS-ENTROPY POSITIVE TIME-FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, IEEE signal processing letters, 4(6), 1997, pp. 176-177
A method for generating an informative prior when constructing a posit
ive time-frequency distribution (TFD) by the method of the minimum cro
ss-entropy (MCE) is developed, The prior is obtained from a combinatio
n of the Wigner distribution (WD) and the evolutionary periodogram, an
d results in a more informative MCE-TFD, as quantified via the mutual
information of the distribution, The procedure allows any of the bilin
ear distributions to be used in the prior, Examples illustrate the per
formance of the new technique.
