Some more examples: Say you had calculated an adaptive coefficient and the range of that number was from 1 to 10. And you felt that a 10:1 range was too large and a more narrow range would be better. You could take the square root (ie raise the coefficient to the 0.5 power) - so now instead of the range being a 1 to 10, it would be of 1:3.16 - ie 1^0.5 = 1 and 10^0.5 = 3.16
Conversly if you had calculated an adaptive coefficient that had too small a range, you could raise it to a power greater than 1 to expand its dynamic range. ___________ The dynamic range compression or expansion could also be a function so you could have two adaptive (ie changing) coefficients, although that could get confusing. _________ A common technique that gets to where you want to be is the Kalman filter, where the amount of filtering being done changes dynamically. This filtering technique is commonly used in electronic circuits(like positioning disk drive heads). I have written several Kalman filters, some using lookup tables to adjust the filtering and others that change the filtering using an algebraic function. They are among my most useful tools. There is a mountain of information on the internet about Kalman filtering.
