Statistical Foundation Course Plan ( Sem 6 )

EE343 is a 3-credit mathematics elective course focused on probability theory and its applications in electrical engineering, signal processing, and machine learning, taught by Krishnan CMC. The course covers various topics including probability models, random variables, limit theorems, and both Bayesian and classical statistical inference, with evaluations based on quizzes, assignments, and exams. Students are expected to have a background in multivariate calculus and will achieve outcomes related to understanding and applying probability concepts.

Course Outcomes and PO mappings


CO- 1: : Understand and describe sample spaces and events for random experiments. Interpret
and calculate probabilities of events in discrete sample spaces. [PO1,PO2]

CO- 2: : Use probability as a tool to develop probability distribution that serve as models for
any random variables[PO1,PO2]

CO- 3: : Distinguish any discrete distribution from continuous probability distributions. Apply
these models in different physical situations.[PO1,PO2]

CO- 4: : Application of estimation techniques[PO2,PO3]

tions, discrete random variables, probability mass functions, common discrete random
variables, Continuous random variables, probability density functions, common contin-
uous random variables, functions of random variables[w03-w04].

function, characteristic function. [w05].

Unit 4: Random Vectors – Multiple random variables, joint distributions, marginal distribu-
tions, conditional distributions, independence of random variables, functions of multiple
random variables. [w06-w07].
