Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
After successful completion of the course, students should be able to formulate detection and parameter estimation problems using statistical signal models. In special cases, closed form
solutions may be found, but students will also be able to solve more complicated problems numerically. Students will also understand how to characterise system performance both analytically, and by use of simulations.
This course has a strong emphasis on the development of fundamental concepts and techniques which should equip students with the ability to successfully deal with a large number of detection,
estimation and classification problems which arise in practice.

There are a large number of texts, as well as web resources that students can use for this
course. Note that different authors use different approaches and notation to
similar problems. I use my own approaches and notation, however students should
be able to reconcile any differences encountered. Useful books include the
following :
A. Papoulis, Probability, Random Variables and Stochastic Processes, McGraw-Hill, second edition,
1984.

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
A 2 hour open book examination held in June worth 50%.
An assignment worth 20%. The assignment will be available week 4, and will be due at the end
of week 10.
Two class tests, each worth 15%. These will be held in weeks 5 and 9. The tests will be marked and returned before the end of semester.
Assessment Related Requirements
The exam is a hurdle requirement. Students must obtain at least 40% for the final exam in order to pass the subject. The usual requirements concerning supplementary assessment opportunities apply.Assessment Detail

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
