Probability and random processes: engineering approach

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion highlights two essential e-books on probability and random processes tailored for graduate electrical engineering courses. The first book is authored by Professor Hajek from the University of Illinois, which includes solutions to even-numbered problems and presents measure-theory concepts without detailed proofs. The second book, by Gray (Stanford) and Davisson (University of Maryland), is published by Cambridge University Press and offers a more verbose yet insightful approach. Both resources are recommended for their professional quality and relevance to electrical engineering applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic probability concepts
  • Familiarity with random processes
  • Knowledge of measure theory (not required in detail for these texts)
  • Interest in electrical engineering applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Professor Hajek's e-book on random processes at the University of Illinois
  • Review the Gray and Davisson e-book available through Stanford University
  • Study measure theory fundamentals to enhance comprehension of advanced topics
  • Investigate applications of probability in electrical engineering contexts
USEFUL FOR

Graduate electrical engineering students, educators in probability and random processes, and professionals seeking to apply probability theory in engineering contexts will benefit from this discussion.

There are a couple of fantastic e-books on probability and random processes, designed for graduate electrical engineering classes but should be interesting to many other folks as well.

The first is from prof. Hajek at Illinois.

http://www.ifp.illinois.edu/~hajek/Papers/randomprocesses.html

The second is from Gray (Stanford) and Davisson (UMD)

http://ee.stanford.edu/~gray/sp.htmlBoth books are professional quality (hardcopy of Gray+Davisson is also published by Cambridge University Press). Hajek includes solutions to even numbered problems.

These present notions of measure-theory without the detailed proofs, and present random processes at a reasonably high level, again without requiring measure theory. Hajek is my favorite. It is not that different of a level as Grimmett and Stirzaker, but is geared more towards electrical engineering applications and doesn't review as much probability. Gray and Davisson is a little wordy, but still very interesting
