Numerical test of the stokes parameters

We made a numerical test of the estimators of the Stokes parameters. We tested the most common estimators in literature plus a maximum likelihood solution. We make an statistical analysis to compare the true errors with the observed ones and to determine the efficiency of the estimators. The maximum...

Sumario:We made a numerical test of the estimators of the Stokes parameters. We tested the most common estimators in literature plus a maximum likelihood solution. We make an statistical analysis to compare the true errors with the observed ones and to determine the efficiency of the estimators. The maximum likelihood solution works fine under the conditions of the model when the errors are comparatively large.
