• An array of n antennas receives m broadbandwavefronts impinging at unknown delays anddirections hidden in additive Gaussian noise(spatially and temporally white).

• Goal: Determine the number of signals mbased on the array output and the associatedparameters.

• Array output x(k)(t) for the kth snapshot isshort-time Fourier transformed

• For large T, we can approximately model thearray output in frequency domain

where the columns of the transfer matrix Hmodel plane waves.

Wavefront Detection using aMultiple Hypotheses Test

for m = 1, 2, ... M

Hypothesis Hm: Array output contains at most(m−1) wavefronts hidden in the noise

Alternative Am: Array output contains at least mwavefronts hidden in the noise

Test distribution• Under hypothesis Hm, the statistic Fm(ωj;θ ) is

Fn1,n2-distributed where the degrees of freedomn1, n2 are given by

n1 = K ( 2 + dim(θm) )n2 = K ( 2n − 2m − dim(θm−1))

• Narrowband (J = 1): GLRT is equivalent to F-test [Shumway 1983].

• Broadband (J > 1): test distribution is unknown.

Where we are now in the talk

• At this point of the talk, we have a tool forcomputing (estimating) the p-values for all thehypotheses.

• That‘s acceptable because, we don‘t knowthe exact distribution of the broadband GLRTtest statistic. (J being a small integer > 1)

• Now, let‘s talk about the type of errors, wecan commit.

PCE, FWE, FDR definitions

m hypothesis are assumed to be known in advance, R is observable, U, V, S, T are unobservable

Control of type-one errorsPCE = E(V/m) Per Comparison Error RateFWE = P(V≥1) Familywise Error RateFDR = E(V/R) False Discovery Rate

Ref.[1]

Control of thefalse discovery rate (FDR)

• Traditional approach controls familywiseerror-rate (FWE).

• When the number of hypotheses is large thanthe power of Bonferroni-type procedures issubstantially reduced.

• Benjamini and Hochberg proposed to controlFDR instead of FWE in 1995.

• FDR is defined as the expected proportion oferroneously rejected hypotheses

10.04.2008 24

Benjamini-Hochberg proc.• When the test statistics corresponding to the true

null hpotheses are independent, the followingprocedure controls the FDR at level q

• Sort the p-values: p(1), p(2) , ..., p(M)• Find k = max { m : p(m) ≤ mq/M }

• Reject all H(1), H(2), ... , H(k).(if no such k exists then don‘t reject any hypothesis)

10.04.2008 25

Benjamini-Hochberg proc.• Sort the p-values: p(1), p(2) , ..., p(M)• Find k = max { m : p(m) ≤ mq/M }• Reject all H(1), H(2), ... , H(k).

Early take-home message• The broadband test distribution under Hm is

not known.• We apply the bootstrap technique to

determine the distribution numerically.• If all null hypotheses are true then controlling

the FDR is equivalent to controlling the FWE• Simulations show that the FDR-controlling

procedure has always a higher probability ofdetection than the FWE controlling procedure.

• Reliability of the proposed test is not affectedby the gain in power.

Closing remark

Model order selection is a problem whichis asymmetric in its risks for over- orunder-estimating the true modelstructure

Multiple hypotheses tests let you controlthe various types of errors you couldcommit
