Estimator Comparison of the Nakagami-m Parameter and its Application in Echocardiography

Abstract

This article deals with the comparison of various estimators of them parameter from the Nakagami distribution. This kind of distributionhas been used in many engineering applications and we present anotherpossible application in biomedical engineering, particularly theultrasound tissue characterization in the echocardiographicapplication. Matlab 6.5 was used as a proper tool for fast andefficient scientific research.
