| Summary: | Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. === The use of higher-order statistics provides insight into signals which is not always available at lower orders. Additionally, Gaussian-distributed signals have the interesting characteristic of disappearing at higher orders. Because so much of the noise and inter- ference environment is Gaussian-distributed, higher-order statistics thus offer the promise of an additional method of noise reduction and interference mitigation. As communica- tions signals become more and more complex, any additional ability to reduce the effects of noise and interference will have a profound impact on communications, surveillance, and intelligence systems. === US Department of Defense author (civilian).
