Statistical Signal Processing

Course Description

This course is devoted to cover the principles of statistical processing, discussing aspects of statistical characterization of random signals, main aspects of estimation and detection theories as well as other important topics such as filtering and prediction and recursive (adaptive) implementations. The mathematical fundamentals are of major interest but the algorithmic procedures are also of interest.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of calculus, linear algebra, statistics and signal processing is required.

Course Goal

To provide students with the concepts of statistical modeling of signals and systems and to work in relevant problems of parameter estimation, signal detection and other signal processing approaches which exploit the statistics of the random signals, such as filtering, prediction and recursive implementations.
