Bayes Optimum and Maximum-Likelihood Approaches in an Array Processing Problem
William S. Hodgkiss, Loren W. Nolte · IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems · 1975
A comparison of the structure and performance of two detectors for an array processing problem is discussed. The first is optimal for detection performance in the Bayesian sense and the second models a maximum-likelihood (beam-forming) approach. Of particular interest is the loss in performance due to nonoptimal processing.
