Objectives |
An introduction to probabilistic description via the
probability density function or distribution function- and statistical
description via the ensemble average, variance, etc- of random signals as
applied to the analysis of linear systems. Key topics and concepts also
include: conditional probability, statistical independence, correlation,
sampling theory, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, stationary and
ergodic processes, autocorrelation and crosscorrelation functions, spectral
density, and their interconnections. Back |

Learning Activities |
Discussion of the main points in lectures
will complement reading assignments (click on Course Syllabus above).
Students are encouraged to do the examples with solutions that appear after
each section in the text, and to ask and answer themselves many more
questions. Back |

Textbook |
Probabilistic Methods of
Signal and System Analysis, 3rd ed. (required) Cooper and McGillem *The textbook is currently available in the campus bookstore. Back |
|
Assessments |
The students can monitor their
progress by doing the weekly homework assignments. The weekly problem sets
will usually be assigned on Tuesdays and due a week later in class. There will be an in-class exam every four weeks, and an
accumulative final. The grade distribution will be home-works (15%), exams
(45%), and final (40%). Back |
