ABSTRACT:
A new statistical model describes the corruption of spectral features caused by additive noise. In particular, the model explicitly represents the effect of unknown phase together with the unobserved clean signal and noise. Development of the model has realized three techniques for reducing noise in a noisy signal as a function of the model.
