PHYS 741 - Inverse Methods and Data Analysis

[3]

This course provides an overview of the mathematical methods used in inverse problems of remote sensing and in atmospheric data analysis. Methods based on estimation theory and variational principles will be presented. Topics include conditional mode and conditional mean estimation, linear and nonlinear least squares and applications to remote sensing and atmospheric data analysis.
Prerequisite: Prerequisites: PHYS 621, PHYS 622 and STAT 355: Introduction to Probability and Statistics for Scientists and Engineers.
