Gaussian and sparse processes are limits of generalized Poisson processes

Michaël Unser, Julien René Fageot, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

The theory of sparse stochastic processes offers a broad class of statistical models to study signals, far beyond the more classical class of Gaussian processes. In this framework, signals are represented as realizations of random processes that are soluti ...
