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.

Covariance Estimation in Elliptical Models with Convex Structure

TL;DR: In this paper, the covariance matrices of non-Gaussian distributions with convex structure are estimated using the General Method of Moments (GMM) approach, and the Tyler's estimator can be obtained as a solution of a convexly relaxed GMM problem.

ChainNet: Neural Network-Based Successive Spectral Analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a neural network-based direction of arrival estimation scheme is proposed, which tackles the estimation task as a multidimensional classification problem and uses a classification chain with as many stages as the number of sources.

Sparse covariance fitting for source location

TL;DR: A new algorithm for finding the angles of arrival of multiple uncorrelated sources impinging on a uniform linear array of sensors is proposed, based on sparse signal representation and does not require either the knowledge of the number of the sources or a previous initialization.
