Course Objective

The goal of this course is to introduce the students into techniques of statistical signal analysis through the concepts of random variables and stochastic processes, and to equip the students with the ability of simulating applications of stochastic processes using MATLAB programming language.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to define concepts of random variables and stochastic processes.
2   To be able to differentiate deterministic and random signals and their properties.
3   To be able to formulate problems of probabilistic nature using the tools and terminolgy of statistical signal analysis.
4   To be able to analyze random signals using MATLAB programming language.
5   To be able to propose different solutions into problems of statistical signal analysis.
