Course Objective

The goal of this course is to introduce the students into statistical detection theory methods which are fundamentally important in designing electronic signal processing systems for decision making and information extraction, and to equip the students with the abilities of developing various detection algorithms on computer using MATLAB programming language.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to define the concept of statistical decision making.
2   To be able to differentiate detection methods for deterministic and random signals.
3   To be able to explain Neyman-Pearson and Bayes detection philosophies.
4   To be able to compose MATLAB computer programs for realizing detection algorithms on computer.
5   To be able to propose alternative detection methods for solving a statistical detection problem.
