Abstract

Regularization plays a fundamental role in adaptive filtering. An adaptive filter that is not properly regularized will perform very poorly. In spite of this, regularization in our opinion is underestimated and rarely discussed in the literature of adaptive filtering. There are, very likely, many different ways to regularize an adaptive filter. In this paper, we propose one possible way to do it based on a condition that intuitively makes sense. From this condition, we show how to regularize four important algorithms: the normalized least-mean-square (NLMS), the signed-regressor NLMS (SR-NLMS), the improved proportionate NLMS (IPNLMS), and the SR-IPNLMS.
