  • Abstract
    Spectral estimation is possible from a finite portion of the autocorrelation function. The ambiguity of a multiplicity of permissible spectra all consistent with the data is the very reason why it is possible because each possible spectrum has a different probability. Maximum entropy estimation (MEE) picks the most probable one as the estimate.
