If you can provide more structure, then we might be able to do something. For example, are all the x[i]'s and e[i]'s independent of each other? If you assume some correlation structure among either the x[i]'s or the e[i]'s, we might be able to make some progress. Otherwise, in a sample of N, all I see right now are N equations and 2N unknowns.

Dear All:
Suppose that I have a sample Y. Suppose also that it is known that Y=X+E where X is considered as a signal and E as noise. The PDFs of X and E are known: F(y, theta) and G(e, xi). Parameters theta and xi are also a priori known. Given all this knowledge, is that possible to estimate signal X? Just to be precise, I need to substitute each data point in Y by the predicted Y' in such a way as it would be, in a sense, closer to X than in the original sample Y.
Thank you
Xao
