Probability and statistics provide an excellent tool for understanding, modeling and communicating uncertainty in engineering systems. In many applications there is the added challenge of considering random quantities that vary over time and/or space. Examples can be found in seismic applications, financial markets, heterogeneous materials, and image processing, among many others. This course provides an introduction into some of the ways in which random processes and random fields are measured, quantified and communicated. Through video lectures, activities, and interactive content, students will learn about correlation functions, spectral density functions, local average processes and Monte Carlo simulation. There will be an emphasis on understanding each concept, estimating these quantities from data, and using this data as the basis for generating realistic sample random processes.

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.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
