We address the problem of effectiveness of the high resolution techniques applied to the conditional model. The rationale is based on a definition of the probability of resolution of maximum likelihood estimators which is computable in the asymptotic region of operation (in SNR and/or in large number of snapshots). The application case is the multiple tones estimation problem (Doppler frequencies estimation in radar).
