    Bağımsız bileşen analizinin iletişim, imge işleme ve jeofizikteki uygulamaları
    (TÜBİTAK - Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, 2006) Sankur, Bülent; Gençağa, Deniz; Kalkan, Olcay; Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    Bu projede literatürde kaynak ayrıştırma olarak bilinen istatistiksel işaret işleme yöntemleri hem kuramsal açıdan, hem de uygulamaları açısından ele alınmıştır. Kuramsal çalışmalarda, kaynakların uzamda ve zamanda birbirlerinden bağımsız olmadıkları düşüncesiyle parçacık süzgeçleri yöntemi ele alınmıştır. Bu yaklaşımda süreç hakkında elimizde varolan önsel bilgilerin algoritmaya ağdırılması mümkün olmuştur. Ayrıca durağan olmayan süreçlerin de ayrıştırılma problemi ele alınmış, farklı yeniden örnekleme ve önem fonksiyonları seçerek literatürdeki teknikleri aşan sonuçlar bulunmuştur. Uygulamaya dönük çalışmalarda ise, jeofizik işaret işlemede klimatolojik verilere bakılmış ve gerek Kuzey Atlantik Salınımı diye adlandırılan olgu irdelenmiştir. Ancak topografık etkiler istenen sonuca ulaşılmasına engel olmuştur. Öte yandan sıcaklık verileri faktör analizi ile incelenmiş ve volkanik hareketlerin etkisi ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Beyin-işaretleri konusunda özellikle prefrontal korteks bölgesinden bilişsel süreçlerle ilgili araştırmalar yapılmıştır. Deneklerin biliş esnasında beyindeki kan dengesinin, oksi- ve deoksi hemoglobinin değişimleri yakalanmaya çalışılmıştır. Bağımsız bileşen analizinin bu türlü dalga biçimlerini ortaya çıkarmakta çok etkili bir araç olduğu gösterilmiştir. Biyometri alanında, bağımsız bileşenler analizi hem yüz imgelerine hem de el imgelerine uygulanmıştır. Bağımsız-bileşenlerin deneklerin kimlik bilgilerini taşıyan ve bozucu etkilere karşı en dayanıklı öznitelikler olduğu görülmüştür. Nihayet bağımsız bileşen analizi CDMA: kod bölüşümlü çoklu erişim işaretlerine uygulanmış ve sönümlü kanallardaki alıcının performansını iyileştirici tasarımlar irdelenmiştir.

    Adaptive Sign Algorithm for Graph Signal Processing
    (Elsevier, 2022) Yan, Yi; Kuruoğlu, Ercan Engin; Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    Efficient and robust online processing techniques for irregularly structured data are crucial in the current era of data abundance. In this paper, we propose a graph/network version of the classical adaptive Sign algorithm for online graph signal estimation under impulsive noise. The recently introduced graph adaptive least mean squares algorithm is unstable under non-Gaussian impulsive noise and has high computational complexity. The Graph-Sign algorithm proposed in this work is based on the minimum dispersion criterion and therefore impulsive noise does not hinder its estimation quality. Unlike the recently proposed graph adaptive least mean pth power algorithm, our Graph-Sign algorithm can operate without prior knowledge of the noise distribution. The proposed Graph-Sign algorithm has a faster run time because of its low computational complexity compared to the existing adaptive graph signal processing algorithms. Experimenting on steady-state and time-varying graph signals estimation utilizing spectral properties of bandlimitedness and sampling, the Graph-Sign algorithm demonstrates fast, stable, and robust graph signal estimation performance under impulsive noise modeled by alpha stable, Cauchy, Student's t, or Laplace distributions.

    Maximum Average Entropy-Based Quantization of Local Observations for Distributed Detection
    (Elsevier, 2022) Wahdan, Muath A.; Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    In a wireless sensor network, multilevel quantization is necessary to find a compromise between minimizing the power consumption of sensors and maximizing the detection performance at the fusion center (FC). The previous methods have been using distance measures such as J-divergence and Bhattacharyya distance in this quantization. This work proposes a different approach based on the maximum average entropy of the output of the sensors under both hypotheses and utilizes it in a Neyman-Pearson criterion-based distributed detection scheme to detect a point source. The receiver operating characteristics of the proposed maximum average entropy (MAE) method in quantizing sensor outputs have been evaluated for multilevel quantization both when the sensor outputs are available error-free at the FC and when non-coherent M-ary frequency shift keying communication is used for transmitting MAE based multilevel quantized sensor outputs over a Rayleigh fading channel. The simulation studies show the success of the MAE in the cases of both error-free fusion and where the effect of the wireless channel has been incorporated. As expected, the performance improves as the level of quantization increases and with six-level quantization approaches the performance of non-quantized data transmission.

    Kod Bölüşümlü Çoklu Erişim (cdma) İletişiminde Gauss Olmayan Sönümlü Kanal Kestirimi için Pearson Sistemi'ne Dayalı Gözü Kapalı Kaynak Ayrıştırma Yöntemi
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2004) Kalkan, Olcay; Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    In this work, a Pearson System based-blind source separation method is used for detecting the signal coming to a mobile user which is subject to multiple access interference in a CDMA downlink communication. Considering some fading channel measurements showing that the fading channel coefficients may have an impulsive nature, these coefficients are modeled with an a-stable distribution whose shape parameter a takes values between 1.8 and 1.9. These a values show that the distribution resembles a Gaussian distribution but has a more impulsive nature. Simulation studies show that the conventional MMSE receiver fails in this impulsive fading scenario. Both the independent component analysis (ICA) method using the conventional hyperbolic tangent score function and the Pearson System-based ICA are successful in estimating the channel coefficients and the proposed Pearson System-based ICA method performs faster.

    Özilinti Matrisinin Oluşturulma Yönteminin Modele Dayalı Sinüzoidal Parametre Kestirimindeki Etkileri
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2004) Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    Although the maximum likelihood method gives the optimum solutions for the parameter estimation problem of the sinusoids embedded in noise, it is computationally difficult since it generally requires to solve nonlinear optimization problems. So some model-based parameter estimators with high frequency resolution property are preferred quite often. In order to find these estimates the first step is usually forming the autocorrelation (AC) matrix. In this work the effects of the method utilized in the generation of the AC matrix on the performances of sinusoidal parameter estimators are investigated. One way of forming the AC matrix is to use a Toeplitz structure with either the biased or the unbiased AC lag estimates as the matrix elements. Another way is to use the socalled "covariance method" in the AC matrix generation. In this method the matrix formed is no longer Toeplitz; but it is still symmetric. We can think of that the Toeplitz AC matrix is a perturbed version of the non-Toeplitz AC matrix. The differences in the performances of the MUSIC spectral estimator with Toeplitz; and non-Toeplitz AC matrix usage is related to the perturbation in the AC matrix estimate. For this purpose the 3 x 3 AC matrix is is utilized in the estimation of the frequency of a single sinusoid using the MUSIC frequency estimator. The accuracy of the perturbation analysis is checked with the simulation results. Additionally, the fact that the performance of an estimator with data windowing and Toeplitz AC matrix generation becomes near to the performance of the same estimator with non-Toeplitz AC matrix is shown with simulation studies.

    Asimetrik Alfa-kararlı Kaynakların Enküçük Saçılım Kriteri Kullalınarak Ayrıştırılması
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2006) Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    In this work, we extend the method which separates symmetric alpha-stable sources using minimum dispersion criterion to the case of skewed alpha-stable mixtures. Thus, a more robust method based on fractional lower order statistics is developed which is capable of separating general alpha-stable sources.

    Kırpılmış ortalamalı gürbüz konum kestiriminde yeni sonuçlar
    (IEEE, 2014) Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    When there are more than necessary distance measurements in localization by distance measurements with closed form estimators, forming smaller subgroups of measurements and averaging the location estimates obtained with these subgroups of measurements makes it possible to eliminate outlier measurements if they are present. In order to eliminate these outlier results, the nearest estimate to the geometric median of estimates is proposed as a reference in this work. Conducted simulation studies show that significant gains can be obtained using geometric median in place of arithmetic average in robust averaging methods.

    Enzimatik Reaksiyonların Kimyasal Langevin-levy Denklemiyle Modellenmesi
    (IEEE, 2012) Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz; Kuruoğlu, Ercan Engin
    Chemical Langevin Equation (CLE) describes a useful approximation in stochastic modeling of chemical reactions. CLE-based ?-leaping algoritm updates the quantities of every molecule in a reaction system with a period of ?, firing every reaction in the system so many times that the concentration of each molecule can be assumed to remain in the current concentration state. Substituting the Brownian motion in the CLE with a Levy flight, one might expect the CLE to converge more rapidly. This work shows that alpha (Levy)-stable increments can be used in ?-leaping, demonstrating it with the example of a detailed kinetic model describing the enzymatic transgalactosylation reaction during lactulose hydrolysis. © 2012 IEEE.

    Performance Analysis of Lattice Reduction Aided Mimo Detectors
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2012) Kılıçaslan, Kağan; Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    Lattice reduction is a powerful method used in detection and precoding of wireless multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) systems. The basic idea is to consider the channel transfer matrix as a basis for the transmitted symbols. The channel transfer matrix is reduced to a more orthogonal matrix using lattice reduction algorithms. This in turn, improves the performance of conventional MIMO receivers. In this study, it is shown that this performance improvement depends on the modulation order. © 2012 IEEE.

    Optimal Quantization in Decentralized Detection by Maximizing the Average Entropy of the Sensors
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Wahdan, Muath A.; Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    In a wireless sensor network the sensor outputs are required to be quantized because of energy and bandwidth requirements. We propose such a distributed detection scheme for a point source which is based on Neyman-Pearson criterion where sensor outputs are quantized maximizing the average output entropy of the sensors under both hypotheses. The quantized local outputs are transmitted to a fusion center (FC) where they are used to make a global decision. The performance of the proposed maximum average entropy (MAE) method in quantizing sensor outputs was tested for binary, ternary and quarternary quantization. The effects of the channel from the sensors to the FC is also addressed by simplified channel models. The simulation studies show the success of the MAE method.
