Modulets indhold, forløb og pædagogik

Læringsmål

Viden

• Have knowledge about the theoretical framework in which stochastic processes are defined.
• Be able to understand the properties of the stochastic processes introduced in the course, such as wide-sense stationary (WSS) processes, Auto Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) processes, Markov models, and Poisson point processes.
• Be able to understand how WSS processes are transformed by linear time-invariant systems.
• Be able to understand the theoretical context around the introduced estimation and detection methods ((non-parametric and parametric) spectral estimation, Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) estimation, Wiener filter, Kalman filter, detection of signals, ARMA estimation, etc.)

Færdigheder

• Be able to apply the stochastic processes taught in the course to model real random mechanisms occurring in engineering problems.
• Be able to simulate stochastic processes using a standard programming language.
• Be able to apply the taught estimation and detection methods to solve engineering problems dealing with random mechanisms.
• Be able to evaluate the performances of the introduced estimation and detection methods.

Kompetencer

• Have the appropriate “engineering” intuition of the basic concepts and results related to stochastic processes that allow – for a particular engineering problem involving randomness – to design an appropriate model, derive solutions, assess the performance of these solutions, and possibly modify the model, and all subsequent analysis steps, if necessary.
