In [[probability theory]], the '''Rice distribution''' or '''Rician distribution''' is the [[probability distribution]] of the magnitude of a circular bivariate normal random variable with potentially non-zero mean. It was named after [[Stephen O. Rice]].
 
==Characterization==
The probability density function is
:<math>
f(x\mid\nu,\sigma) = \frac{x}{\sigma^2}\exp\left(\frac{-(x^2+\nu^2)}
{2\sigma^2}\right)I_0\left(\frac{x\nu}{\sigma^2}\right),</math>
where ''I''<sub>0</sub>(''z'') is the modified [[Bessel function]] of the first kind with order zero.  
 
The [[Characteristic function (probability theory)|characteristic function]] is:<ref>[[#refLiu2007|Liu 2007 (in one of Horn's confluent hypergeometric functions with two variables).]]</ref><ref>[[#refAnnamalai2000|Annamalai 2000 (in a sum of infinite series).]]</ref>
 
:<math>
\begin{align}
&\chi_X(t\mid\nu,\sigma) \\
& \quad = \exp \left( -\frac{\nu^2}{2\sigma^2} \right) \left[
\Psi_2 \left( 1; 1, \frac{1}{2}; \frac{\nu^2}{2\sigma^2}, -\frac{1}{2} \sigma^2 t^2 \right) \right. \\[8pt]
& \left. {} \qquad + i \sqrt{2} \sigma t
\Psi_2 \left( \frac{3}{2}; 1, \frac{3}{2}; \frac{\nu^2}{2\sigma^2}, -\frac{1}{2} \sigma^2 t^2 \right) \right],
\end{align}
</math>
 
where <math>\Psi_2 \left( \alpha; \gamma, \gamma'; x, y \right)</math> is one of [[Horn function|Horn's confluent hypergeometric functions]] with two variables and convergent for all finite values of <math>x</math> and <math>y</math>. It is given by:<ref>[[#refErdelyi1953|Erdelyi 1953.]]</ref><ref>[[#refSrivastava1985|Srivastava 1985.]]</ref>
 
:<math>\Psi_2 \left( \alpha; \gamma, \gamma'; x, y \right) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\sum_{m=0}^\infty \frac{(\alpha)_{m+n}}{(\gamma)_m(\gamma')_n} \frac{x^m y^n}{m!n!},</math>
 
where
 
: <math>(x)_n = x(x+1)\cdots(x+n-1) = \frac{\Gamma(x+n)}{\Gamma(x)}</math>
 
is the [[rising factorial]].
 
==Properties==
===Moments===
The first few [[raw moments]] are:
 
:<math>\mu_1^{'}=  \sigma  \sqrt{\pi/2}\,\,L_{1/2}(-\nu^2/2\sigma^2)</math>
:<math>\mu_2^{'}= 2\sigma^2+\nu^2\,</math>
:<math>\mu_3^{'}= 3\sigma^3\sqrt{\pi/2}\,\,L_{3/2}(-\nu^2/2\sigma^2)</math>
:<math>\mu_4^{'}= 8\sigma^4+8\sigma^2\nu^2+\nu^4\,</math>
:<math>\mu_5^{'}=15\sigma^5\sqrt{\pi/2}\,\,L_{5/2}(-\nu^2/2\sigma^2)</math>
:<math>\mu_6^{'}=48\sigma^6+72\sigma^4\nu^2+18\sigma^2\nu^4+\nu^6\,</math>
 
and, in general, the raw moments are given by
 
:<math>\mu_k^{'}=\sigma^k2^{k/2}\,\Gamma(1\!+\!k/2)\,L_{k/2}(-\nu^2/2\sigma^2). \,</math>
 
Here ''L''<sub>''q''</sub>(''x'') denotes a [[Laguerre polynomials|Laguerre polynomial]]:
 
:<math>L_q(x)=L_q^{(0)}(x)=M(-q,1,x)=\,_1F_1(-q;1;x)</math>
where <math>M(a,b,z) = _1F_1(a;b;z)</math> is the [[confluent hypergeometric function]] of the first kind. When ''k'' is even, the raw moments become simple polynomials in σ and ''ν'', as in the examples above.
 
For the case ''q'' = 1/2:
 
:<math>
\begin{align}
L_{1/2}(x) &=\,_1F_1\left( -\frac{1}{2};1;x\right) \\
&= e^{x/2} \left[\left(1-x\right)I_0\left(\frac{-x}{2}\right) -xI_1\left(\frac{-x}{2}\right) \right].
\end{align}
</math>
 
The second [[central moment]], the [[variance]], is
:<math>\mu_2= 2\sigma^2+\nu^2-(\pi\sigma^2/2)\,L^2_{1/2}(-\nu^2/2\sigma^2) .</math>
 
Note that <math>L^2_{1/2}(\cdot)</math> indicates the square of the Laguerre polynomial <math>L_{1/2}(\cdot)</math>, not the generalized Laguerre polynomial <math>L^{(2)}_{1/2}(\cdot).</math>
 
==Related distributions==
*<math>R \sim \mathrm{Rice}\left(\nu,\sigma\right)</math> has a Rice distribution if <math>R = \sqrt{X^2 + Y^2}</math> where <math>X \sim N\left(\nu\cos\theta,\sigma^2\right)</math> and <math>Y \sim N\left(\nu \sin\theta,\sigma^2\right)</math> are statistically independent normal random variables and <math>\theta</math> is any real number.
 
*Another case where <math>R \sim \mathrm{Rice}\left(\nu,\sigma\right)</math> comes from the following steps:
 
:1.  Generate <math>P</math> having a [[Poisson distribution]] with parameter (also mean, for a Poisson) <math>\lambda = \frac{\nu^2}{2\sigma^2}.</math>
 
:2.  Generate <math>X</math> having a [[chi-squared distribution]] with {{nowrap|2''P'' + 2}} degrees of freedom.
 
:3.  Set <math>R = \sigma\sqrt{X}.</math>
 
*If <math>R \sim \text{Rice}\left(\nu,1\right)</math> then <math>R^2</math> has a [[noncentral chi-squared distribution]] with two degrees of freedom and noncentrality parameter <math>\nu^2</math>.
*If <math>R \sim \text{Rice}\left(\nu,1\right)</math> then <math>R</math> has a [[noncentral chi distribution]] with two degrees of freedom and noncentrality parameter <math>\nu</math>.
*If <math>R \sim \text{Rice}\left(0,\sigma\right)</math> then <math>R \sim \text{Rayleigh}\left(\sigma\right)</math>, i.e., for the special case of the Rice distribution given by ν = 0, the distribution becomes the [[Rayleigh distribution]], for which the variance is <math>\mu_2= \frac{4-\pi}{2}\sigma^2</math>.
*If <math>R \sim \text{Rice}\left(0,\sigma\right)</math> then <math>R^2</math> has an [[exponential distribution]].<ref>Richards, M.A., [http://users.ece.gatech.edu/mrichard/Rice%20power%20pdf.pdf Rice Distribution for RCS], Georgia Institute of Technology (Sep 2006)</ref>
 
==Limiting cases==
For large values of the argument, the Laguerre polynomial becomes<ref>Abramowitz and Stegun (1968) [http://www.math.sfu.ca/~cbm/aands/page_508.htm §13.5.1]</ref>
 
:<math>\lim_{x\rightarrow -\infty}L_\nu(x)=\frac{|x|^\nu}{\Gamma(1+\nu)}.</math>
 
It is seen that as ''ν'' becomes large or σ becomes small the mean becomes ''ν'' and the variance becomes σ<sup>2</sup>.
 
==Parameter estimation (the Koay inversion technique)==
There are three different methods for estimating the parameters of the Rice distribution, (1) [[Method of moments (statistics)|method of moments]],<ref name=T>[[#RefTalukdar|Talukdar et al. 1991]]</ref><ref name=B>[[#RefBonny|Bonny et al. 1996]]</ref><ref name=S>[[#RefSijbers|Sijbers et al. 1998]]</ref>  (2) [[method of maximum likelihood]],<ref name=T/><ref name=B/><ref name=S/> and (3) method of least squares.{{citation needed|date=June 2012}} In the first two methods the interest is in estimating the parameters of the distribution, ν and σ, from a sample of data. This can be done using the method of moments, e.g., the sample mean and the sample standard deviation. The sample mean is an estimate of μ<sub>1</sub><sup>'</sup> and the sample standard deviation is an estimate of μ<sub>2</sub><sup>1/2</sup>.
 
The following is an efficient method, known as the "Koay inversion technique".<ref name=K>[[#refKoay2006|Koay et al. 2006 (known as the SNR fixed point formula).]]</ref> for solving the [[estimating equations]], based on the sample mean and the sample standard deviation, simultaneously . This inversion technique is also known as the [[fixed point (mathematics)|fixed point]] formula of [[Signal-to-noise ratio|SNR]]. Earlier works<ref name=T/><ref>[[#RefAbdi|Abdi 2001]]</ref> on the method of moments usually use a root-finding method to solve the problem, which is not efficient.
 
First, the ratio of the sample mean to the sample standard deviation is defined as ''r'', i.e., <math>r=\mu^{'}_1/\mu^{1/2}_2</math>. The fixed point formula of SNR is expressed as
 
:<math> g(\theta) = \sqrt{ \xi{(\theta)} \left[ 1+r^2\right] - 2},</math>
 
where <math> \theta</math> is the ratio of the parameters, i.e., <math>\theta = \frac{\nu}{\sigma}</math>, and <math>\xi{\left(\theta\right)}</math> is given by:
 
:<math> \xi{\left(\theta\right)} = 2 + \theta^2 - \frac{\pi}{8} \exp{(-\theta^2/2)}\left[ (2+\theta^2) I_0 (\theta^2/4) + \theta^2 I_1(\theta^{2}/4)\right]^2,</math>
 
where <math>I_0</math> and <math>I_1</math> are [[modified Bessel function of the first kind|modified Bessel functions of the first kind]].
 
Note that <math> \xi{\left(\theta\right)} </math> is a scaling factor of <math>\sigma</math> and is related to <math>\mu_{2}</math> by:
 
:<math> \mu_2 = \xi{\left(\theta\right)} \sigma^2.\, </math>
 
To find the fixed point, <math> \theta^{*} </math>, of <math> g </math>, an initial solution is selected, <math> {\theta}_{0} </math>, that is greater than the lower bound, which is <math> {\theta}_{\mathrm{lower bound}} = 0 </math> and occurs when <math>r = \sqrt{\pi/(4-\pi)}</math><ref name=K>[[#refKoay2006|Koay et al. 2006 (known as the SNR fixed point formula).]]</ref> (Notice that this is the <math>r=\mu^{'}_1/\mu^{1/2}_2</math> of a Rayleigh distribution). This provides a starting point for the iteration, which uses functional composition,{{clarify|reason=is this worth saying if meaning is not defined|date=June 2012}} and this continues until <math>\left|g^{i}\left(\theta_{0}\right)-\theta_{i-1}\right|</math> is less than some small positive value. Here, <math>g^{i}</math> denotes the composition of the same function, <math>g</math>, <math>i</math>-th times. In practice, we associate the final <math>\theta_{n}</math> for some integer <math>n</math> as the fixed point, <math>\theta^{*}</math>, i.e., <math>\theta^{*} =  g\left(\theta^{*}\right)</math>.
 
Once the fixed point is found, the estimates <math>\nu</math> and <math>\sigma</math> are found through the scaling function, <math> \xi{\left(\theta\right)} </math>, as follows:
 
:<math> \sigma = \frac{\mu^{1/2}_2}{\sqrt{\xi\left(\theta^{*}\right)}}, </math>
 
and
 
:<math> \nu = \sqrt{\left( \mu^{'~2}_1 + \left(\xi\left(\theta^{*}\right) - 2\right)\sigma^2 \right)}. </math>
 
To speed up the iteration even more, one can use the Newton's method of root-finding.<ref name=K/> This particular approach is highly efficient.

They guaranteed me that there are a lot of normal, sweet concert luke bryan and entertaining people to meet, therefore the pitch is gone by here!
My fam and buddies are magnificent luke bryan meet and greet and spending some time together at bar gigabytes or dishes is luke bryan concert schedule 2014 definitely imperative. I haven't ever been into cabarets as I realize you could not have a good dialog together with the noise. In addition, I got 2 undoubtedly cheeky and very cute puppies who are consistently enthusiastic to meet up fresh individuals.
I attempt to keep as physically fit as possible being at the gymnasium several times a week. I enjoy my athletics and strive to perform or watch as many a potential. I will regularly at Hawthorn suits being wintertime.
