Complex correntropy function: Properties, and application to a channel equalization problem

作者:

Highlights:

• We define a new generalized similarity measure between complex random variables.

• A complete deduction is presented and important properties are studied.

• Complex correntropy has overcome classical methods in a channel equalization problem.

• Now it is possible to use correntropy in problems involving complex-valued data.
