Stochastic Processes

2025/2026

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • Can describe stochastic processes and their applications as models of real signals
  • Can explain the defining properties of different stationary stochastic process models

Skills

  • Can select analytical tools for studying the phenomenon of chance in an engineering context
  • Can analyse and characterise stochastic phenomena and choose appropriate models
  • Can demonstrate understanding of concepts, theories and techniques for estimating parameters in discrete stochastic processes
  • Can apply cross- and auto-correlation for analysing stochastic processes
  • Can estimate the power spectral density of discrete stochastic processes and understand the limitations of this estimate
  • Can analyse biomedical signals, which can be modelled as stochastic processes using power spectrum density
