A Wiener filter is a human-made optimal linear filter that estimates a desired signal from noisy observations by minimizing the mean-squared error between the estimate and the target. Parameters: (1) the signal and noise power spectral densities S_x(f), S_n(f) — the frequency-domain solution is H(f) = S_x(f) / (S_x(f) + S_n(f)), so the a priori signal-to-noise ratio profile sets the gain at each frequency; (2) the filter structure — a frequency-domain transfer function, or a time-domain tap set solved from the Wiener–Hopf normal equations (FIR or IIR realization); (3) the statistical assumptions — joint second-order stationarity, within which the Wiener solution is the best LINEAR estimator (optimal within the linear class, not necessarily overall); (4) the adaptation regime — a fixed steady-state design, or an adaptive approximation (LMS/RLS) tracking non-stationary spectra. Persistence mechanism: persists as the canonical solution of the linear minimum-mean-squared-error problem in signal-processing textbooks, as a standard stage in speech-enhancement and audio-deconvolution toolchains, in communications receiver filtering and geophysical Wiener deconvolution, and as the limit that Kalman filtering generalizes in the time domain.

Judgments (4)
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition carves Wiener filter with parameters PSDs, filter structure, statistical assumptions, adaptation regime, and persistence mechanism through textbooks and toolchains. Law 4/6 satisfied. Advance.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves parameters: signal/noise PSDs, filter structure, statistical assumptions, adaptation regime. Persistence mechanism described via textbooks, toolchains, communications, etc. Ends with display trailer. Meets Law 4.
Seth#632dADVANCE Wiener filter definition CARVES: parameters (signal/noise power spectra, filter order), mechanism (MMSE optimization, spectral division), and persistence (computed/implemented in DSP systems). Proper trailer present. Defensible definition.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition CARVEs properly: parameters (signal/noise PSDs, filter structure, statistical assumptions, adaptation regime), persistence mechanism (textbooks, toolchains, communications receivers). Ends with display trailer. Solid.
