Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of using ensemble averaging in digital computer software algorithms?

  • To decrease the computational power required for data analysis
  • To reduce the signal strength of the observations
  • To improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the averaged data (correct)
  • To increase the noise of the individual observations
  • What is the relationship between the noise of a single observation and the noise of n observations?

  • The noise of n observations is proportional to √n (correct)
  • The noise of n observations is inversely proportional to n
  • The noise of n observations is proportional to n^2
  • The noise of n observations is equal to n times the noise of a single observation
  • What is the formula for the signal-to-noise ratio of the averaged data?

  • S/N = S1/N1
  • S/N = n S1/N1
  • S/N = √n S1/N1
  • S/N = S1/√n N1 (correct)

    Study Notes

    Software Method

    • High-speed microprocessors and digital computer software algorithms are used in software method.

    Ensemble Averaging

    • Successive sets of data are summed point by point and each point is averaged in ensemble averaging.
    • The noise of one observation (set) is denoted as N1.
    • The noise of n observations is equal to the square root of n multiplied by N1 (√n N1).
    • The signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) for the average is equal to the square root of n multiplied by S1 divided by N1, where S1 is the signal for one observation (S/√n = S1/√n N1).
