Title
Performance evaluation of the maximum complex correntropy criterion with adaptive kernel width update
Abstract
The complex correntropy is a recently defined similarity measure that extends the advantages of conventional correntropy to complex-valued data. As in the real-valued case, the maximum complex correntropy criterion (MCCC) employs a free parameter called kernel width, which affects the convergence rate, robustness, and steady-state performance of the method. However, determining the optimal value for such parameter is not always a trivial task. Within this context, several works have introduced adaptive kernel width algorithms to deal with this free parameter, but such solutions must be updated to manipulate complex-valued data. This work reviews and updates the most recent adaptive kernel width algorithms so that they become capable of dealing with complex-valued data using the complex correntropy. Besides that, a novel gradient-based solution is introduced to the Gaussian kernel and its respective convergence analysis. Simulations compare the performance of adaptive kernel width algorithms with different fixed kernel sizes in an impulsive noise environment. The results show that the iterative kernel adjustment improves the performance of the gradient solution for complex-valued data.
