A useful adaptive process is one that causes the weight vector to
seek the minimum of the performance surface.

The optimal weight vector

satisfies:
Example of a Performance Surface
 Class-Exercise 1

(a) Consider the system shown above with a single weight. Suppose the switch
is open, derive the equation of the performance function and plot it by
Matlab. What is the optimum value of w1?, What is the corresponding
MMSE?. N=10.
(b) Same with the switch closed. What is the optimum value of w 1?, What is the
corresponding minimum-mean-square-error?. N=10

By Matlab:

(a) Find the optimal weight vector.

(b) What is the corresponding min?.
(c) Prove that yk = dk
