Stochastic Processes

Spring 2006

 

last updated: 2006/03/29

1. Goal of Course

Probability and stochastic processes are central to the study of communications, control, signal processing, artificial intelligence, computer networks, financial markets, etc. The purpose of the course is to provide students with modeling tools for dealing with random phenomena qualitatively.

We will assume no previous experience with probability.

 

2. Topics

Basic concepts from probability, conditional probability, counting, random variables, independence, expectations, moments, transforms, introduction to discrete and continuous time random processes, filtering random processes, inequalities, central limit theorem.

 

2. Recommended Textbook

Probability and Random Processes for Electrical Engineering, A. Leon-Garcia.

5. Suggested reading

Personally I believe  Internet is a great resource and  helper in understanding Probability problems. Specially MIT Open course ware is a must-see web site. The site contains assignments and exams.
