ELEC-E8104 - Stochastic models and estimation D, Lecture, 14.9.2021-14.12.2021

Inträde för gästanvändare
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student understands the main concepts in stochastics, mathematics and main concepts related to estimation and state estimation, the role of uncertainty in dynamic systems and is able to implement state estimation algorithms both in linear and nonlinear case. The student understands what duality between control and estimation means in control engineering and, from this point of view,  the main approaches of stochastic control.
