The complementary aspects of spectrum estimation based on higher-order order statistics are considered. Higher-order analysis of stochastic array data is formalized in a general fashion through the introduction of the class of hybrid nonlinear (HNL) moments. HNL moments comprise, as a special case, slice cumulants and their mixtures. In this framework, the case of joint use of covariance and fourth-order slice cumulant is handled in a simple and direct way. Simulation results confirm the theoretical analysis.>
