Learning objectives

Knowledge

Students who complete the module:

  • Have knowledge of stochastic processes in general
  • Can describe stochastic processes and their application as models for real signals
  • Can explain the defining properties of various stochastic process models
  • Can identify the analytical tools for studying random phenomena in engineering systems
  • Demonstrate understanding of the concepts, theories and techniques for estimating parameters of discrete stochastic processes
  • Have knowledge about cross- and auto-correlation of stochastic processes
  • Have knowledge about power spectral analysis of stationary stochastic processes and can estimate the power spectral density of discrete stochastic processes and understand the limitations in this estimation

Skills

  • Can apply the theory of stochastic processes to model real phenomena
  • Can analyze and characterize appropriate stochastic process models for a given problem
  • Can apply methods for power spectral analysis and filtering to biomedical signals that can be modeled as realizations of stochastic processes
  • Can estimate and analyze the power spectrum of biomedical signals that can be modeled as realizations of stochastic processes
  • Can solve problems in applied sciences based on the theory for stochastic processes

Competences

  • Are prepared for a wide range of courses in communication, signal processing, control and other areas in which randomness has an important role.
