Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a novel framework for semi-parametric estimation of an unknown number of signals, each parametrized by a group of components. Via a reformulation of the covariance fitting criteria, we formulate a convex optimization problem over a grid of candidate representations, promoting solutions with only a few active groups. Utilizing the covariance fitting allows for a hyperparameter-free estimation procedure, highly robust against coherency between candidates, while still allowing for a computationally efficient implementation. Numerical simulations illustrate how the proposed method offers a performance similar to the group-LASSO for incoherent dictionaries, and superior performance for coherent dictionaries.
