Random Fourier adaptive filters (RFAFs) project the original data into a high-dimensional random Fourier feature space (RFFS) such that the network structure of filters is fixed while achieving similar performance with kernel adaptive filters. The commonly used error criterion in RFAFs is the well-known minimum mean-square error (MMSE) criterion, which is optimal only under the Gaussian noise assumption. However, the MMSE criterion suffers from instability and performance deterioration in the presence of non-Gaussian noises. To improve the robustness of RFAFs against large outliers, the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) is applied to RFFS, generating a novel robust random Fourier filter under maximum correntropy (RFFMC). To further improve the filtering accuracy, a random-batch RFFMC (RB-RFFMC) is also presented. In addition, a theoretical analysis on the convergence characteristics and steady-state excess mean-square error of RFFMC and RB-RFFMC is provided to validate their superior performance. Simulation results illustrate that RFFMC and its extension provide desirable filtering performance from the aspects of filtering accuracy and robustness, especially in the presence of impulsive noises.
