Description
Introduction to detection and estimation theory, with applications to communication, control, and signal processing; decision-theory concepts and optimum-receiver principles; detection of random signals in noise; and parameter estimation, linear and nonlinear estimation, and filtering.
Topics
- Introduction
- Basic concepts of statistical decision theory: Main ingredients; concepts of optimality (Bayesian and minimax approaches)
- Binary hypothesis testing: Bayesian decision rules; minimax decision rules; Neyman-Pearson decision rules (the radar problem); composite hypothesis testing
- Signal detection in discrete time: models and detector structures; performance evaluation; Chernoff bounds and large deviations; sequential detection, quickest change detection, robust detection
- Parameter estimation: Bayesian estimation; nonrandom parameter estimation; maximum likelihood estimation, robust estimation
- Signal estimation in discrete time: Kalman filter; recursive Bayesian and ML estimation
