Brief summary

This third book of our learning tutorial deals in detail with stochastic signals and their modelling. Knowledge of stochastic signal theory is an important prerequisite for understanding the following books, which focus on transmission aspects.

  1. Fundamentals and definitions of probability theory;  set-theoretic description;  Statistical dependence;  Markov chains.
  2. Properties of discrete-valued random variables and their computational generation.  Examples:  Binomial and Poisson distribution.  Moments calculation.
  3. Description of continuous-valued random variables:  Probability density function,  distribution function,  moment calculation.  special distributions.
  4. Two- and multi-dimensional random variables:  Autocorrelation function,  power density spectrum,  correlation coefficient,  cross-correlation function.
  5. Filtering of stochastic signals   ⇒   "Stochastic System Theory";  digital filters;  properties of matched filter and Wiener–Kolmogorov–filter.


Knowledge of the first two  $\text{LNTwww}$-books,  which describe the  "representation of deterministic signals"  as well as the  "description of linear and time-invariant systems",  are helpful for the understanding of the present book,  but not required.
