Estimating Gaussian noise model given a set of linear transformation












0












$begingroup$


I've done this stuff in a while.



Suppose we have a system of the form



$$
left{
begin{array}{l}
tilde{x}_1 = x_1 + epsilon_1 \
vdots \
tilde{x}_i = x_i + epsilon_i \
vdots \
tilde{x}_n = x_n + epsilon_n
end{array}
right.
$$



where each $epsilon_i$ is some value sampled from a distribution $mathcal{N}(mu,sigma)$



I've these measures $tilde{x}_i$s not related to the same quantity, but all the $epsilon_i$ are sampled from the same distribution. Is there any way I can possibly estimate the probability distribution (namely $mu,sigma$)?



Thank you

    @Damien, they're fixed/constants.

    In this case, I don't understand where the problem is. By removing the $x_i$ from the observations, you get the $epsilon_i$. Estimating the mean and variance from these corrected observations seem simple. On the contrary, if they are fixed but unknown (classical case in communications), we need more information on it.
