Abstract

In the field of pattern recognition signals are frequently thought of as the product of sources that act statistically. The goal of the analysis of such signals, therefore, is to model the statistical properties of the assumed signal sources as exactly as possible. As a basis of the model building merely the observed example data and assumptions about limitations in the model’s degrees of freedom are available. However, the model to be determined should not only replicate the generation of certain data as exactly as possible but also deliver useful information for segmenting the signals in some meaningful units.
