Course objectives
The aim of the course is to provide students with basic theoretical and methodological principles of description and analysis of time series and analysis of linear systems.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
- know fundamental theoretical and methodological principles of time series description and processing and linear system analysis
- explain consequences and relationships between characteristics of real processes and data and applied methods and algorithms;
- apply different practical approaches to data processing to obtain required analytic results;
- design modified algorithms to process time series data of given particular characteristics
