EE9-CS5-1 Probability and Stochastic Processes

Lecturer(s): Dr Moez Draief

Aims:
This course provides analytical tools for studying random phenomena in engineering systems. Special emphasis is given to background requirements for a probabilistic analysis of communications and control systems.

Learning Outcomes:
This core course in probability and random signals ('stochastic processes') prepares students for a wide range of courses in communications, signal processing, control and other areas of engineering in which randomness has an important role.

Syllabus:
Axiomatic basis of probability theory. Conditional probability, independence. Random variables and probability distributions. Expectation, moments. Conditional expectations. Markov chains.
