Course Objectives Understanding detection theory; binary hypothesis testing, M-ary testing, Bayes and Neyman-Pearson detectors, min-max. theory, Understanding estimation theory; linear and nonlinear estimation, parameter estimation, MAP and maximum likelihood estimators, Cramér-Rao bounds, asymptotic properties of estimators, waveform detection and estimation, Wiener filtering and Kalman-Bucy filtering, spectral estimation, and important research topics for Ph.D. work.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • apply detection techniques and find the wanted signals (either deterministic or random).
  • develop computational skills (Matlab) in signal detection problems.
  • apply estimation techniques and estimate the parameters of interest.
  • expose students to applications of real-world detection and estimation problems.
Course Content Neyman-Pearson detector, hypothesis testing, maximum likelihood estimator, MAP, Kalman filtering, Wiener filtering, detection and estimation performance evaluation.
