SPICE: A Sparse Covariance-Based Estimation Method for Array Processing

TLDR
This paper presents a novel SParse Iterative Covariance-based Estimation approach, abbreviated as SPICE, to array processing, obtained by the minimization of a covariance matrix fitting criterion and is particularly useful in many- snapshot cases but can be used even in single-snapshot situations.
Abstract
This paper presents a novel SParse Iterative Covariance-based Estimation approach, abbreviated as SPICE, to array processing. The proposed approach is obtained by the minimization of a covariance matrix fitting criterion and is particularly useful in many-snapshot cases but can be used even in single-snapshot situations. SPICE has several unique features not shared by other sparse estimation methods: it has a simple and sound statistical foundation, it takes account of the noise in the data in a natural manner, it does not require the user to make any difficult selection of hyperparameters, and yet it has global convergence properties.

SPICE and LIKES: Two hyperparameter-free methods for sparse-parameter estimation

TL;DR: The derivation of SPICE is revisited to streamline it and to provide further insights into LIKES, a new method obtained in a hyperparameter-free manner from the maximum-likelihood principle applied to the same estimation problem as considered by SPICE.

A Discretization-Free Sparse and Parametric Approach for Linear Array Signal Processing

TL;DR: An exact discretization-free method, named as sparse and parametric approach (SPA), is proposed for uniform and sparse linear arrays that carries out parameter estimation in the continuous range based on well-established covariance fitting criteria and convex optimization and is statistically consistent under uncorrelated sources.

Pushing the Limits of Sparse Support Recovery Using Correlation Information

TL;DR: It is shown that if existing algorithms can recover sparse support of size s, then using such correlation information, the guaranteed size of recoverable support can be increased to O(s2), although the sparse signal itself may not be recoverable.
