Fundamentals of Statistical Signal Processing, Volume III

Fundamentals of Statistical Signal Processing: Practical Algorithm Development is the third volume in a series of textbooks by the same name. Previous volumes described the underlying theory of estimation and detection algorithms. In contrast, the current volume addresses the practice of converting this theory into software algorithms that may be implemented on a digital computer. In describing the methodology and techniques, it will not be assumed that the reader has studied the first two volumes, but of course, he/she is certa inly encouraged to do so. Instead, the descriptions will focus on the general concepts using a minimum of mathematics but will be amply illustrated using MATLAB implementations. It is envisioned that the current book will appeal to engineers and scientists in industry and academia who would like to solve statistical signal processing problems through design of well-performing and implementable algorithms for real systems.
