Course Rationale and Goals

Classical detection and estimation theory (binary hypothesis testing, M-ary hypothesis testing, composite hypothesis, Bayes estimation, nonrandom parameter estimation, performance evaluation). Representation of random processes. Detection of signals - estimation of signal parameters.
