This paper aims to provide realistic modelling of generic noise probability density functions (pdfs). The target is to obtain a parametric model depending on few parameters, and being so general to be able to describe many kinds of noise (e.g., symmetric or asymmetric, with variable sharpness). A very general and easy-to-use function which is based on HOS parameters is presented and compared with other HOS-based pdfs; it is called asymmetric generalized Gaussian. A real case study is considered for comparing the various pdfs; it consists in modelling real underwater acoustic noise at low frequencies and to apply the estimated models to designed Locally Optimum Detection (LOD) tests.

Abstract
This paper aims to provide realistic modelling of generic noise probability density functions (pdfs). The target is to obtain a parametric model depending on few parameters, and being so general to be able to describe many kinds of noise (e.g., symmetric or asymmetric, with variable sharpness). A very general and easy-to-use function which is based on HOS parameters is presented and compared with other HOS-based pdfs; it is called asymmetric generalized Gaussian. A real case study is considered for comparing the various pdfs; it consists in modelling real underwater acoustic noise at low frequencies and to apply the estimated models to designed Locally Optimum Detection (LOD) tests.
