ISBN 0-19-512354-9. Software: MATLAB Learning Outcomes for the Course - After completing this course a student should be able to: 1. apply the fundamentals of combinatorics (including combinations and permutations) to answer basic counting questions ; 2. apply the basic axioms and corollaries of probability, conditional probability, Bayes’ Rule, and the Total Probability Theorem to calculate probabilities of interest for engineering applications; 3. apply random variable theory (including knowledge of probability densities and cumulative distribution functions) to determine probabilities, moments, and the effects of operations/systems on random variables (e.g., Gaussian, Rayleigh, Exponential, Uniform, Poisson, Bernoulli, and Log-Normal) and random vectors of interest to electrical engineers. 4. classify random processes as continuous, discrete or mixed, as deterministic or non-deterministic, as strict-sense stationary, wide-sense stationary or non-stationary, and as ergodic or non-ergodic, and to draw sample functions for a given random process; 5. apply random process theory (including knowledge of correlation functions and power spectral densities) to evaluate moments of a random process and to determine the effects of operations/systems on random processes.
