Adaptive Filter Theory (3rd Edition) | Date: 05 May 2011, 15:33
|
Represents the most comprehensive treatment available of neural networks from an engineering perspective. Examines all the important aspects of this emerging technology. DLC: Adaptive filters.
From the Publisher
Haykin examines both the mathematical theory behind various linear adaptive filters with finite-duration impulse response (FIR) and the elements of supervised neural networks. The Third Edition of this highly successful book has been updated and refined to keep current with the field and develop concepts in as unified and accessible a manner as possible.
Reviews
Summary: A Recipe Book
Rating: 3
The book is sound, but I have to agree with others here. Formulas, procedures are presented without an intuitive sense of why things turn out the way they are, or even from the beginning of derivations. Good to implement mechanically all those algorithms without proper understanding.
As it is usually the case, in this very important subject, one has to learn from many sources.
Summary: It's exactly what the title states, "Adaptive Filter THEORY"
Rating: 5
I was introduced to this text in a graduate course. I was not too thrilled about learning from another Haykin book due to a previous experience with his Communication Systems text in an undergraduate course (Horribly confusing... Proakis's text is infinitely better). To my surprise, the book was very detailed and easy to read. The math is very clear and detailed (great for the self learner). Also, the second chapter, which serves as a review of stationary processes and properties, was written much better than most random process textbooks (I applaud Haykin for this given the section was only a review). In chapter 3 or 4, he shows the derivation of the Levison-Durbin Algorithm step-by-step. I strongly disagree with some of the other reviews stating this text is just the typical engineering manual or cookbook with no explainations.
However, this is either a love or hate text. If you are looking for a text about practical linear predictive filter design, this is NOT the book for you. This text is heavily geared towards understanding the theory behind the design... hence the title Adaptive Filter THEORY. However, it can make a great reference to engineers in the field of DSP.
Summary: Not a bad reference book.
Rating: 2
This book looks very impressive, but if you try to understand it you'll find it very mechanical. There is not much motivation behind the many pages of formulas and derivations. I'm not even sure how many people actually read those derivations becuase even in its 4th edition the book and its solution manual both have many typos (see, for example, equations 8.11 and 12.5). Even the problems are more focused on derivations than on numerical examples. This is a good cookbook if you just want to implement an algorithm or find some pointers to the original research papers. Like many other reviewers, I beleive that engineering textbooks are losing their depth and becoming more and more like instruction manuals.
Summary: A very good book for Adaptive DSP...

I have always wondered why many people have negative opinions about books by Simon Haykin, whether it is 'Communication Systems' or 'Adaptive Filter Theory'. Particularly, this book 'Adaptive Filter Theory', in my opinion, is one of the bestbooks on this subject. As Julius Kusuma correctly mentioned, this book is indeed an "adventure ride" into the field of Adaptive Filter Theory.
I discovered this book when I was doing a class project on Self-Orthogonalizing algorithms for Adaptive Beamforming and I felt that all the relevant information that I needed was present in this book. I did'nt really feel the neccesity to refer anything outside this book.
Apart from that, this book contains everything that a graduate student needs to know about this exciting field of adaptive filters. The author assumes some background on Random Signal Theory... I'd suggest to look up Sam Shanmugan et al's, "Random Signals: Detection, Estimation and Data Analysis" before beginning to read (enjoy) this "adventure ride" on Adaptive Filters.
