Term
give mean, variance for single random variable. what will happen when variance = 0?
Definition
when variance = 0 this means they are really close to average
Term
what is variance?
Definition
how close from average?
Term
what's mean for two random variables?
Definition
lecture slides
Term
give equation for correlation of X and Y
Definition
E[XY]
Term
give equation for covariance of X and Y
Definition
E[(X-u)(Y-u)] = E[xy] - UxUy
Term
give equation for correlation coefficient of X and Y
Definition
E[(X-u)(Y-u)/OxOy]
Term
of correlation coefficient is 0, then what does that mean?
Definition
means X and Y are uncorrelated.
p = 0 -> cov(x,y) = 0 -> E[xy] = UxUy
Term
Why is plotting Q helpful?
Definition
usually tail probability is the error
Term
how to find F(x)?
Definition
thi[ (x - mean)/variance square rooted ]
Term
how to find mean and variance of two RV given one RV
Definition
look at text book
Term
X and Y are independent in Gaussian RV if? does X and Y uncorrelated means X and Y are independent in general>?
Definition
X and Y are not correlated.
X and Y uncorrelated does not mean X and Y are independent, but for Gaussian RV, it is
Term
Describe random process
Definition

Event is random given any t.  For random variable case, t was = 1 only, but this one is for any t.

 

evolution of random variables with respect to t

Term
explain why a signal is a random process
Definition
1. signals are function of time
2. don't know what waveform will look like unless experimented
Term
what are two types of random process in signals?
Definition
1. transmitted signals
2. noises
Term
what is mean of a random process X(t)? does the mean depend on t?
Definition
look at txt book.  Yes it depends on t
Term
give an equation for auto-correlation of random process X(t)
Definition
see notes
Term
give an equation for cross-correlation of random process X(t) and Y(t)
Definition
see notes
Term
what is WSS process?
Definition
1. if mean doesn't depend on t
2. if autocorrelation doesn't depend on t
Term
what are 4 properties of autocorrelation of a WSS process?
Definition
1. Rx(tao) = Rx(-tao)
2. |Rx(tao)| <= Rx(0) for all tao
3. Rx(tao) <-> Sx(f):psd of X(t) is FT of Rx(tao)
4. Rx(0) = E[X^2]
Term
what is E[X^2]?
Definition
average power of a signal
Term
what are 4 properties of LTI system for WSS?
Definition
1. if input is WSS, then output is also WSS
2. Uy = UxH(0)
3. Ry(tao) = Rx(tao)*h(tao)*h(-tao)
4. Sy(f) = Sx(f)|H(f)|^2
Term
what is equation for cross spectral density?
Definition
see lecture slides
Term
What properties does white gaussian noise have?
Definition
1. properties of WSS process
2. mean = 0
3. auto-cor = N0/2 delta(t)
4. Gaussian RV
4. PSD = N0/2
Term
if a process is WSS, then PSD exists?
Definition
yes
Term
If a WGN passes through LPF, is it still a WGN?
Definition
no
