Stochastic Processes

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sebastian J. Schlecht Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg


This site is a companion to the lecture notes on Stochastic Processes. It supplements the notes with visualizations, videos, computational examples, and interactive material — but does not duplicate the theory, derivations, or proofs.

2 Probability Theory and Random Variables Probability spaces, distributions, expectations, limit theorems
3 Stochastic Processes WSS processes, PSD, ergodicity, LTI systems
4 Estimation Theory MLE, MAP, MMSE, Cramér–Rao bound, hypothesis testing
5 Linear Optimal Filtering Wiener filter, matched filter, Wiener–Hopf equation
6 Hilbert Spaces Unifying MMSE, Wiener filter, and LLS via projections
