Should we call .mp3, mpeg, mp4, etc are a kind of source coding in telecommunications?
I would like to ask you guys that I learned the Shannon Coding, Fano coding, Huffman coding are a kind of source coding.
So may I call the mp3, mp4, mpeg are a kind of source coding?
Thanks so much

Time delay estimation for superimposed random signals sampled from a multivariate Gaussian mixture?
Suppose my signal model is:
$$
\mathbf{y} = D(\tau_1) \mathbf{x}_1 + D(\tau_2) \mathbf{x}_2

where $D(\tau)$ is a delay matrix that shifts a signal by $\tau$ samples.
$\mathbf{x}_1$ and $\mathbf{x}...
