Introduction to Applied Statistical Signal Analysis: Guide to Biomedical and Electrical Engineering Applications

Introduction to Applied Statistical Signal Analysis intertwines theory and implementation with practical examples and exercises. Topics presented in detail include: mathematical bases, requirements for estimation and detailed quantitative examples for implementing techniques for classical signal analysis. This book will help readers understand real-world applications of signal analysis as they relate to biomedical engineering.

The presentation style is designed for the upper level undergraduate or graduate student who needs a theoretical introduction to the basic principles of statistical modeling and the knowledge to implement them practically.

· Accompanied by MATLAB notebooks that provide an interactive mode of learning which can be utilized by professors or independent learners, available from the Companion website.
· Includes over one hundred worked problems and real world applications. Many of the examples and exercises in the book use measured signals, many from the biomedical domain. Copies of these are available for download from the Companion website.
