Techniques for EMD-based signal de-noising are disclosed that use statistical characteristics of IMFs to identify information-carrying IMFs for the purposes of partially reconstructing the identified relevant IMFs into a de-noised signal. The present disclosure has identified that the statistical characteristics of IMFs with noise tend to follow a generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) versus only a Gaussian or Laplace distribution. Accordingly, a framework for relevant IMF selection is disclosed that includes, in part, performing a null hypothesis test against a distribution of each IMF derived from the use of a generalized probability density function (PDF). IMFs that contribute more noise than signal may thus be identified through the null hypothesis test. Conversely, the aspects and embodiments disclosed herein enable the determination of which IMFs have a contribution of more signal than noise. Thus, a signal may be partially reconstructed based on the predominately information-carrying IMFs to result in de-noised output signal.
