Topic outline

  • Week 4. Numerical Tools for Probability Extraction

    In this week we learn to understand how we can assess probabilities from the spectra numerically and we focus on elevation from mean level and entire load cycles where focus is on the signal height. The idea is to process the time history of the random event by using different numerical techniques and to derive the probability distributions. We recommend that you perform the following sequence of learning actions:

    1. Get acquainted with the Assignment of this week (see Assignments-section) to get hands-on understanding of the framework where we operate. 

    2. Check the Lecture slides for this week in order to understand the fundamental ideas and theories we can use to solve the weekly problem. Make notes on them and how you understand them. 

    3. Then you can watch the video and see how the story is told by someone else. Think about the open issues you have about the subject. The things you understand, you do not understand or you are unsure about.

    4. Start making the assignments.

    5. Join the question hour to ask about any open issues. The question hours are on: 

    Tuesday, October 5th 2021, 08:00-10:00 or Wednesday, October 6th 2021, 12:00-14:00.
