This book embraces the many mathematical procedures that engineers and statisticians use to draw inference from imperfect or incomplete measurements. This book presents the fundamental ideas in statistical signal processing along four distinct lines: mathematical and statistical preliminaries; decision theory; estimation theory; and time series analysis.
