Abstract

A complex-valued random variable is improper if its complementary covariance is not 0, otherwise it is proper. In this paper, we consider the linear regression models whose errors are independent and identically distributed following an improper complex Gaussian distribution. Such a model may be encountered in signal processing. We use the maximum likelihood method and the two-stage least squares method to estimate the regression coefficients. Differences between these two methods and the complex version of least squares estimates are investigated by simulations. A wind data set is used to illustrate the proposed approach.
