  text: Noise tracking is an important component of speech enhancement algorithms.
    Of the many noise trackers proposed, Minimum Statistics (MS) is a particularly
    popular one due to its simple parameterization and at the same time excellent
    performance. In this paper we propose to further reduce the number of MS parameters
    by giving an alternative derivation of an optimal smoothing constant. At the same
    time the noise tracking performance is improved as is demonstrated by experiments
    employing speech degraded by various noise types and at different SNR values.
