English abstract:
We study the performance of estimators of a sparse
nonrandom vector based on an observation which is linearly
transformed and corrupted by white Gaussian noise. Using the
framework of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, we derive a new
lower bound on the estimator variance for a given differentiable
bias function (including the unbiased case) and an almost arbitrary
transformation matrix (including the underdetermined case
considered in compressed sensing theory). For the special case of
a sparse vector corrupted by white Gaussian noise-i.e., without a
linear transformation-and unbiased estimation, our lower bound
improves on a previously proposed bound.
