Plots of Rice log-likelihood function and its approximations (vertical axis) for a single acentric reflection from the BLIP test case, as a function of . The data are normalized, so that has been divided by ΣN. The log-likelihood function (LLh) is shown in black, the linear (LETF1) and quadratic (LETF2) Taylor-series approximations are shown in blue and the linear (LETFL) and quadratic (LETFQ) least-squares approximations are shown in red. A dashed line shows the probability distribution of , superimposed using an arbitrary scale and origin. (a) BLIP alone. (b) BLIP with BETA fixed. |
