The method also can include (d) updating the kernel size based upon the error measure thereby facilitating automatic switching between the blind and decision-directed equalization modes, where the kernel size is initially set to a value indicative of the blind equalization mode. The method additionally can include (e) selectively applying blind equalization or decision-directed equalization to the input signal according to the updated kernel size for subsequent iterations of steps (c)-(e).}, title = {Blind equalizers using probability density matching and parzen windowing}, author = {Erdogmus, Deniz and Lázaro, Marcelino and Príncipe, José Carlos and Santamaría Caballero, Luis Ignacio}, }
