Linguistically described covariance matrix estimation

Abstract

In this paper we present a covariance matrix estimation method based on linguistically described data samples. The linguistic variable describes a real data samples that could be used for a calculation of the covariance matrix. In most cases, real dataset contains noise samples that manifest as outliers. Hence, the covariance matrix estimation problem can be formulated in the following way: take only these data samples that are not outliers. In this way, the influence of outliers is confined and thereby increases the robustness of the estimation. Linguistic variable distance takes values that are fuzzy sets. In the simplest case, the distance can be small or large. The distance is calculated between the data samples and the dataset center. In this paper we used generalized sample mean estimator for the calculation of the dataset center. The proposed method was used in the nonlinear state-space projection method (NSSP) where the estimation of a covariance matrix plays crucial role. The modified NSSP method was applied to ECG signal processing.
