A textbook for a one-semester or two semester graduate course, or for two separate courses, the first covering probability theory, random variables and stochastic processes, which would be a prerequisite for a second on signal detection and estimation. Various chapters or groups of chapters could also be used in other graduate or undergraduate courses relating to radar, communications, and signal processing, says Barkat (electronics, U. of Constantine, Algeria). The disk contains detailed solutions to the chapter-end problems. No date is noted for the first edition nor changes for the second. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
