The solution to an optimization or estimation problem |
|
depends on some criterion of optimality. Typically, all |
|
prospective solutions have an associated measure of |
|
goodness, and the optimum solution is that with maximum |
|
(or minimum) measure. The choice of measure incorporates |
|
whatever is known about the physics of the problem as |
|
well as other assumptions. This presentation we suggests |
|
two closely related measures of the randomness of |
|
signals. Each of these measures is related to the |
|
uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics. It is further |
|
suggested that minimizing either of these measures is an |
|
appropriate criterion for the solution of a variety of |
|
problems, including spectral estimation, signal |
|
extrapolation and/or interpolation, nonparametric signal |
|
detection, and phase retrieval. The criterion may be |
|
appropriate when the unknown signal is postulated to be |
|
simple rather than complex and we want to minimize the |
|
number of arbitrary assumptions made about the signal and |
|
noise characteristics. |
