  1. D. Xu, C. Jahanchahi, C. Cheong-Took and D. P. Mandic, "Quaternion Derivatives: The GHR Calculus," Technical Report: TR-IC-Quat-GHR-Calc-08-01-14/1, January 2014.

    Introduces a novel calculus into the quaternion domain, whereby the derivatives admit the product and chain rules. Also provides the analysis and examples.

  2. D. Dini and D. P. Mandic, "Widely Linear Complex Kalman Filters," Technical Report: TR-IC-UDRC-WL-Kalman/0257-09-10-2, September 2010.

    Summarizes the widely linear (augmented) complex Kalman filter (AKF), complex augmented extended Kalman filter (AEKF) and complex augmented unscented Kalman filter (AUKF), originally developed in 'Complex Valued Nonlinear Adaptive Filters', Wiley 2009. Also provides the analysis and examples.

  3. S. Javidi and D. P. Mandic, "A Fast Independent Component Analysis Algorithm for Improper Quaternion Signals," Technical Report: TR-ICU-ICA-1070/06-10, September 2010 - DEcember 2010

    Establishes fast-ICA type blind source separation for vector signals, and takes into account the noncircularity of signal distributions in the quaternion domain. Looks into some EEG applications.

  4. S. Javidi and D. P. Mandic, "Kurtosis Based Blind Source Extraction of Complex Noncircular Signals with Application in EEG Artifact Removal," Technical Report: TR-ICU-BSE-1337/09-10, September 2010.

    Illustrates that by making the symmetric EEG channels complex-valued, we can greatly benefit from accounting for phase information and the notion of circularity, in order to remove eye movement artifacts in real time.
