Development of a statistical procedure for detecting the number of signals in a radar measurement

Ranking and selection theory is applied to the eigenvalue problem. Of concern is the development of a procedure for computing the number of signals in a measurement data vector. In the authors' approach, the multiplicity of the noise eigenvalue is computed, and used in calculating the number of non-noise (signal) eigenvalues.
