檢測與估計

In various engineering works (as well as in many other works), we need to estimate the numerical value of some physical quantity or determine which condition among a number of alternatives is more likely. This course treats this subject. Needless to say, it will introduce some estimation and detection methods. But to put everything in perspective, we also need to consider some important foundational questions, such as: How to properly formulate estimation and detection problems? What are some proper objectives to aim for in estimation and detection? Are there any ultimate limits on how well we can do in attaining these objectives and, if so, what are they? How do the various estimation and detection methods perform and how does their performance compare to the ultimate limits? This course will also address these issues.

1. 線性代數(大學部層次)。 Linear Algebra (undergraduate-level). 2. 機率(大學部層次)。 Probability (undergraduate-level). 3. 運用複數的能力(如電路理論、訊號與系統等課程中之所需,未必需要修複變函數)。 Ability to work with complex numbers, such as that needed in Circuit Theory, Signals and Systems, etc., which you may be able to acquire without taking Complex Variables). 4. 訊號與系統(大學部層次)。 Signals and Systems (undergraduate-level). 5. 基本的隨機過程觀念(如大學部層次通訊原理、數位通訊原理等課程中所講到的觀念,但修過研究所層次的隨機過程課程更佳)。 Basics of Random Processes: The related discussion in the undergraduate courses Principles of Communication Systems and Principles of Digital Communication Systems usually suffices, but the graduate course Stochastic Processes is a plus.
