Learning objectives of the subject
Learning objectives of the subject:

The course introduces the student to important statistical signal processing techniques and their application in digital
communications, speech or computer vision. The course is organized into four modules covering the main aspects of the
estimation, tracking and detection theories and their application to practical problems. For every module, classes are
divided into classroom lectures, exercises and presentation of illustrative applications.
Learning results of the subject:

(i) To achieve a solid background on Statistical Signal Processing (estimation theory, detection theory and adaptive
filtering) from the theoretical and applied perspectives.
(ii) Ability to design optimal and suboptimal estimators following classical and Bayesian approaches, as well as to evaluate
the theoretical Cramér-Rao Lower Bound.
(iii) Ability to solve problems in which the unknown parameter (to estimate) evolves in time according to a dynamic or
state model requiring the design of adaptive filters to track its value.
(iv) Ability to solve complex dynamical systems estimation problems using sequential Montecarlo methods.
(v) Ability to formulate simple binary and multiple hypothesis testing problems including the realistic situation in which
there are some unknowns in the signal model (the pdf associated to the different hypotheses is not completely known).
(vi) Get familiarized with basic concepts of graph algebraic theory and ability to use these concepts to process data or
signals lying on a graph.
(vii) Gain experience reading and understanding published journal and conference articles related with the topic.
