There are 4 modules in this course

In this module, you will be introduced to some basic definitions of random processes and examples of engineering applications in which they are important. There will also be a review of probability density functions to introduce the marginal distribution that describes a random process.

What's included

5 videos1 reading1 assignment1 discussion prompt

In this module, you will be introduced to the correlation function and correlation length as a means to describe random processes. You will learn to recognize how changes in the correlation function affect the random process, and vice versa. Finally, there will be a case study in which the correlation function & length are calculated based on a given set of data.

In this module, you will be introduced to the spectral density function as an alternative means to describe random processes. You will learn to recognize how changes in the spectral density function affect the random process, and vice versa. Finally, there will be a case study in which the spectral density function & moments are calculated based on a given set of data.

What's included

6 videos1 assignment1 ungraded lab

In this module, you will work with simulation-based approaches to generate random processes, based on the correlation function or the spectral density function. The approach will be applied in the context of reliability.
