Statistical shape analysis of helices

Consider a sequence of equally spaced points along a helix in three-dimensional space, which are observed subject to statistical noise. In this thesis, maximum likelihood (ML) method is developed to estimate the parameters of the helix. Statistical properties of the estimator are studied and compari...
