    The goal To provide students with understanding of statistical signal analysis in communications. Introduction to filtering, correlation and detection theory. The applications of the presented concepts in design of communication systems and big data analysis.
    The outcome At the end of the course, the students will be familiar with the basic methods that use probabilistic approach for solving communications problems. The application of presented concepts in communication systems performance analysis will be given. Optimal decision and pattern recognition in big data sets will be considered also.
