Grading :

2 midterms (20% each), 4 homeworks (20%), final (40%).


Warning: Homeworks will require MATLAB coding.
Hence, you are assumed to know (or ready to learn) MATLAB programming.

VF Conditions :

(i) (0.2 *Midterm 1+ 0.2 * Midterm 2 + 0.2*First 3 Homeworks) 40 (over 100)


(ii) Average grade of 2 Midterm exams should be 20 (over 100)
are required to take the final exam.
Otherwise VF (instead of FF) will be given.
No make-up exam (b
ut
unleme) will be given for VF.
Attendance will not be recorded.

Learning Objectives of the Course:


1. Define laws and axioms of probability and be able to work with set theoretical rules of events
and probabilities
2. Construct probabilities and conditional probabilities; use them in Bayes law to model simple
real life problems
3. Know and utilize random variables (r.v.s), important standard models of probability density
functions (pdfs) and cumulative density functions in both continuous and discrete space
4. Express multiple r.v.s with joint pdfs, relating to marginal pdfs and conditional pdfs, as well
as to concepts of independence and correlatedness
5. Estimate means, variances, covariances, moments of random variables and random vectors
6. Calculate best predictors in minimum mean squared sense both for linear and nonlinear predictors
7. Know the meaning and implications of limit theorems : Law of large numbers and Central
limit theorem
8. Define random processes, their properties as well as standard random process models such as
Gaussian, Poisson, and Markov processes.
