Prerequisite: ECE 302.  Authorized equivalent courses or consent of instructor may be used in satisfying course pre- and co-requisites or equivalent

Introduction to point estimation, least squares, Bayes risk, and maximum likelihood.  Optimum mean-square recursive estimation for non-dynamic stochastic systems.  State estimation for discrete-time and continuous-time dynamic systems. Parameter identification of stochastic systems using maximum likelihood.  Stochastic approximation, least squares, and random search algorithms.

Reason:          Course has not been extended for an extended period of time.  Course content has been deleted from the curriculum.
