Aim

This course is aimed at those who want wo broaden and deepen their knowledge in statistical signal processing and expand their toolkit with more advanced techniques. It lies on the border between statistics and signal processing and builds on the classical non-parametric methods that are wellknown and taught in, e.g. Stationary stochastic processes or Optimal signal processing. Since these methods are not always sufficient we need more advanced techniques in many application areas, e.g. communications or medicine.

Hence, the course covers more statistically robust methods that have become increasingly used in resent years, e.g. time-frequency analysis, which is a modern method for analysis of non-stationary signals and processes. The research in this area has expanded during the last 20 years, making this a commonly used tool.

Many applications will be presented in the course and the participants will work with real world data.

Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: Approved assignments and project report as well as participation in all compulsary parts. The final grade is given by a summary of the results on the assignments and the written and oral project report.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
