Talcott Parsons science. Parsons also became strongly interested in systems theory and cybernetics and began to adopt their basic ideas and concepts to the realm of social science, especially the work of Norbert Wiener (1894–1964) had his attention. Some of the students who arrived at the Department of Social Relations in the years after the Second World War were David Aberle, Gardner Lindzey, Harold Garfinkel, David G. Hays, Benton Johnson, Marian Johnson, Kaspar Naegele, James Olds, Albert Cohen, Norman Birnbaum, Robin Murphy Williams, Jackson Toby, Robert N. Bellah, Joseph Kahl, Joseph Berger, Morris Zelditch, Renee Fox, Tom O'Dea, Ezra Vogel, Clifford Geertz,
Wiener filter criterion of the latter does not rely on cross-correlations or auto-correlations. Its solution converges to the Wiener filter solution. For complex signals, the derivation of the complex Wiener filter is performed by minimizing formula_55 =formula_56. This involves computing partial derivatives with respect to both the real and imaginary parts of formula_32, and requiring them both to be zero. The resulting Wiener-Hopf equations are: which can be rewritten in matrix form: Note here that:formula_60 The Wiener coefficient vector is then computed as:formula_61 The Wiener filter has a variety of applications in signal processing, image processing, control systems, and digital communications.
