On the Stability of Bayes Estimators for Gaussian Processes

Abstract

We consider the Bayes estimator $\delta_0$ for a Gaussian signal process observed in the presence of additive Gaussian noise under contamination of the signal or noise by QN-laws, introduced by Gualtierotti (1979). Upper bounds on the increase in the mean square error of $\delta_0$ over the minimum possible mean square error under contaminated noise or contaminated signal are given. It is shown that the performance of $\delta_0$ is relatively close to optimal for small amounts of contamination.
