Prel. scheduled hours: 50
Rec. self-study hours: 70

  Area of Education: Science

Subject area: Mathematics

  Advancement level (A-D): C

Aim:
The course treats theory and methods to handle sequences of observations and continuous registrations where the observations are related. Examples are random models of electronic signals, noise, turbulence, registrations in industrial processes and economical time series. The course is intended as a basis for understanding professional literature in teletransmission theory, control theory, information theory, optimization, queuing networks etc.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic courses in mathematical statistics. Theory of analytic functions. Also transform theory is very helpful.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
TAMS46 Probability, second course TSRT35 Control theory TBMT01 Biomedical signal processing TBMI27 Classification and decision support

Organisation:
