Geometric algebra based least mean m-estimate robust adaptive filtering algorithm and its transient performance analysis.

• In this paper, we analyze the transient performance of the geometric algebra based least mean M-estimate (GA-LMM) filtering algorithm in detail under some simplifying assumptions and give the step size range that ensure the mean square stability of the GA-LMM. Further, to eliminate the constraint of the constant step size on the performance of the GA-LMM, a novel variable step-size algorithm called VSS-GA-LMM is designed and the optimal step size is obtained by maximizing the difference of mean square deviation (MSD) between successive iterations, which effectively balances the contradiction between convergence rate and steady-state error. • The validity of the transient performance analysis about GA-LMM and the advantages of the GA-LMM and VSS-GA-LMM algorithms over other existing GA based algorithms are confirmed through numerical simulations. In this paper, the transient performance of the geometric algebra based least mean M-estimate (GA-LMM) filtering algorithm is analyzed in detail under some simplifying assumptions. Further, the variable step-size variant VSS-GA-LMM is designed to eliminate the constraint of the constant step size on the performance of the GA-LMM and the optimal step size is obtained by maximizing the difference of mean square deviation (MSD) between successive iterations, which effectively balances the contradiction between convergence rate and steady-state error. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis of the GA-LMM and the advantages of the GA-LMM and VSS-GA-LMM algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
