Download or read book Modeling Random Systems written by J. R. Cogdell and published by Pearson Prentice Hall. This book was released on 2004 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For undergraduate courses in probability, statistics, and random processes in Engineering, especially Electrical Engineering. This text equips students in engineering and other technical areas to understand, analyze, and design systems that have random aspects. Material on probability, statistics, and random processes is presented in a style that appeals to engineering interests and avoids excessive mathematical development. The unifying concept throughout the book is "modeling": probability is defined as a model for data, expectations model averages, the various distributions model real-world situations, random processes model analog and digital information-bearing signals, and white noise models wideband noise from physical processes.
