Course description and aims

There are various methodologies and techniques for analyzing data collected via measurements and observations. Among them, this course focuses on the analysis of time series. Mathematical theory and technique are covered through the lectures, and practical data analyses are executed through computer programming.
Students will acquire the knowledge and skills on the discrete Fourier transform method for characterizing temporal variation in the data, and on various techniques to reduce or eliminate noise superimposed on the data.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Program a simple data analysis code in MATLAB.
2) Determine an appropriate interval for the sampling of continuously-changing physical quantities.
3) Derive correlation and frequency spectrum of time series data.
4) Extract the meaningful part of the data by removing the noise.

Keywords

random process, discrete Fourier transform, sampling theorem, Wiener-Khintchin theorem, spectrogram, noise, moving average, filter, singular value decomposition, singular spectrum analysis

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Theory is taught in the class and exercises are occasionally given. Students may be asked to explain the assumptions made in the preparation.
Practices on MATLAB programming are conducted in the computer room of IDE Lounge.
Lecture and practice are provided in turns.
