一、課程說明(Course Description)
This course will cover the fundamental theory of random processes with emphasis on
applications to signal processing and communications. This is a basic yet important
course for students pursuing studies in these fields. The course will include basic
concepts on random processes, stationarity, convergence of random sequences, law of
large numbers, and examples of important random processes such as Poisson processes,
Gaussian processes, and Markov chains/processes. With applications to communications
and signal processing, we will also cover topics related to linear systems, spectral
analysis, estimation, Karhunen-Loeve expansion etc.
