Abstract
Disclosed are implementations, including a method comprising selecting a location of a selection buffer (that stores observed output samples produced by a signal chain) according to a pseudo-random buffer selection process, and accessing at least one observed output sample generated in response to corresponding input samples (to the system) and/or intermediary samples (outputs of a digital compensator) produced by a compensator of the system. The method further includes computing an approximation of a sub-gradient value computed according to a stochastic gradient process to derive a sub-gradient of an error function representing a relationship between the observed output sample, and the input and/or intermediary samples, computing updated values for the compensator coefficients based on current values of the coefficients and the approximation of the sub-gradient value, and replacing, at a time instance determined independently of the buffer selection process, content of part or all of the selection buffer.
