The Rayleigh regression model was recently proposed for modeling amplitude values of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image pixels. However, inferences from such model are based on the maximum-likelihood estimators, which can be biased for small-signal lengths. The Rayleigh regression model for SAR images often considers small pixel windows, which may lead to inaccurate results. In this letter, we introduce bias-adjusted estimators tailored for the Rayleigh regression model based on: 1) Cox and Snellx2019;s method; 2) Firthx2019;s scheme; and 3) the parametric bootstrap method. We present numerical experiments considering synthetic and actual SAR data sets. The bias-adjusted estimators yield nearly unbiased estimates and accurate modeling results. |
