The main topic of this course is statistical inference. Loosely speaking, statisti-cal inference is the process of going from information gained from a sample to inferences about a population from which the sample is taken. There are two aspects of statistical inference that we'll be studying in this course: estimation and hypothesis testing. Starting from the likelihood ratio test, you can simplify the test to deciding HI if the test statistic T (x) is above a threshold (threshold determined by PFA in Neyman-Pearson detection and by the priors and costs in Bayesian detection), IV—I We consider detecting the presence of a known signal s[n], n — in Gaussian noise.

The estimate of µ is the value of µ obtained for a given realization x. Because data is inherently random, therefore, we have to used statistical methods to get these estimates, because in this paper comprises a collection of some basic concepts of statistical estimation theory obtained from various sources and presented in summary fashion; it makes no original contribution to the Given a human voice, the estimation problem is to determine the speech as close as possible. 4. Image Processing Estimation of the position and orientation of an object from a camera image is useful when using a robot to pick it up, e.g., bomb-disposal 5. Biomedical Engineering Estimation the heart rate of a fetus and the difficulty is that the Statistics and Sampling Distributions 1.1 Introduction Statistics is closely related to probability theory, but the two elds have entirely di erent goals. Recall, from Stat 401, that a typical probability problem starts with some assumptions about the distribution of a random variable (e.g., that it's binomial), and the objective is Estimation theory is a branch of statistics that deals with estimating the values of parameters based on measured/empirical data that has a random component. An estimate is a single value that is calculated based on samples and used to estimate a population value An estimator is a function that maps the sample space to a set of estimates.
