Estimation Theory

(ECTS: 3; SWS: 2)

Lecturers

Prof. Dr. Richard Bamler, Dr.-Ing. Stefan Gernhardt

prerequisites   complex calculus, signal processing, linear algebra, integrals
objectives   The goal of this course is to deliver insight into basic and advanced techniques of decision making and estimation processes with emphasis on remote sensing applications. A theoretical understanding of the influence of prior knowledge, measurements and models will be given and demonstrated with simplified examples. Fundamental limits of estimation procedures will be understood.
contents   Statistical Basics, Bayes' Theorem, Detection, Courseification, Parameter Estimation, Time and Frequency Estimation, Multi-Parameter Estimation (Optimal Estimation), Model Selection, Tracking Algorithms (Kalman Filter, Particle Filters), Signal Reconstruction from Irregular Sampling
literature   There is not a dedicated book accompanying the lecture. The following two books, however, cover essential parts:
Sivia, D.S., Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial, Oxford Science Publications, 1996.
Rodgers, C. D., Inverse methods for atmospheric sounding: Theory and practice, World Science, London, 2000.
