Least mean squares filter

Statistical algorithm

Least mean squares (LMS) algorithms are a class of adaptive filter used to mimic a desired filter by finding the filter coefficients that relate to producing the least mean square of the error signal. It is a stochastic gradient descent method in that the filter is only adapted based on the error at the current time. It was invented in 1960 by Stanford University professor Bernard Widrow and his first Ph.D. student, Ted Hoff, based on their research in single-layer neural networks (ADALINE). Specifically, they used gradient descent to train ADALINE to recognize patterns, and called the algorithm "delta rule". They then applied the rule to filters, resulting in the LMS algorithm.
