Course curriculum

I. Statistics (5 weeks)
Basic notions from probability and statistics. Statistical sets. Point and interval estimates.Testing hypotheses with parametres (not only for normal distribution). Tests of the form of distribution. Regression analysis. Tests of good accord. Non-parametric tests.
II. Stochastic processes(4 weeks)
Deterministic and stochastic problems. Characteristics of stochastic processes. Limit, continuity, derivation and integral of a stochastic process. Markov, stationary, and ergodic processes. Canonical and spectral division of a stochastic process.
III. Operation analysis (4 weeks)
Principles of operation analysis, linear and nonlinear programming. Dynamic programming, Bellman principle of optimality. Theory of resources. Floating averages and searching hidden periods.

Aims

The objecive of the course is to expand knowledge in the area of statistical tests and data sample processing, mastering the basics of operations research including the appplications in electrical engineering with the use of mathematical software.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year. The student will be able to sit the exam only after a successful solution of a project has been presented.
