Hello everyone, The question that I have may not be fully relevant to the title, but I thought that could be the best point to start the main question! I'm working on 2-D data which are images. For some reason, I have converted my data to a 1-D vector, and then transformed them to the...

Hi all, I would like to estimate from my experimental data what would be the noise of the signal if I could sample at a higher rate. It is possible to do that? Do you have any references to good books that explain this topic? Thank you!

Looking at another textbook problem, hope someone can let me know if I'm on the right track: Let $X_1, X_2, ... X_{25}$ be a random sample from some distribution and let $W = T(X_1, X_2, ... X_{25})$ be a statistic. Suppose the sampling distribution of W has a pdf given by $f(x) =...

Hi, I want to transform a complex exponential with quadratic phase to discrete form, in other words to a vector form. can anyone help me with that? Thanks

Hey everyone! Can anyone explain, why quadrature sampling works the way it does? i.e. taking 2 samples for the I and 2 samples for the Q. I mean I can understand if one tries to sample one mono frequency signal, say 40 Hz sine wave, on 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees, that is a sampling frequency of...

Can anyone tell on how to take microbial sample from the feet of students (13-14 year olds).I have searched about many methods like williamson and kligman method but do not know the best method to carry out the sampling.I intend to give separate kits to the children (around 50) so that they can...

I'm trying to look up sources on the nyquist sampling rate, but I keep finding this small subtle difference between sources, and I am not sure if it is laziness or some subtle point I am missing. Sometimes I see the nyquist rate as Fs>2Fm and sometimes I see it as Fs>=2Fm. So is it the sampling...

Help me understand something. I get that the posterior ##p(\theta|y) \propto p(y|\theta)p(\theta)## should be normalized by ##\frac{1}{p(y)}## for the probability to sum to 1, but what about the mean and variance? Am I not right understanding that sampling from the un-normalized posterior...

Hi guys. I'm not a statistician although I use it enough that I'm surprised something is bothering me. I'm doing hypothesis testing on a population >100,000. What I'm wondering is whether there is any difference whatsoever between performing multiple tests on several samples or just doing one...

I have tried calculating sampling rates for signals like sinc(200pi t). It was simple and I thought I understood until I cam across signals like sinc(200πt)*sinc2(400πt). I need help with finding sampling rate of these kind of signals and get a clear concept on the topic. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to simulate the probability of rejecting a good batch for a probability of \(0.94\) using the Binomial Probability Law. My two cases are \[ P[k\geq 95] = \sum_{k = 95}^{100}\binom{100}{k}p^k(1 - p)^{100 - k} \] and \[ P[k\geq 98] = \sum_{k = 98}^{100}\binom{100}{k}p^k(1 - p)^{100 -...

For an image, higher the dimensions of image ,more is the resolution of the image.But is there any relation present between sampling frequency and dimensions of image? Also, Whether the Number of samples presents in an image is equal to product of dimensions of image?

I know that for a given signal, the sampling frequency Fs must be twice or more than maximum frequency of the signal Fm. It is easy to understand the concept for a 1D signal. But I don't know how to calculate sampling frequency or Nyquist rate for a 2D image. Also what is effect of...

When I sample a certain digital signal with increasing sampling frequency, the fast Fourier transform of the sampled signal becomes finer and finer. (the image follows) Previously I thought higher sampling frequency makes the sampled signal more similar to the original one, so the Fourier...

Hi, let's say I want to measure the frequency f of a periodic signal. I may take N data points with an arbitrary timestep of T. The question is how shall I choose T for a fixed N to have the best accuracy? In principle the frequency resolution is 1/(N*T) when taking the Fourier transform...

Hi All, I have a problem I've been thinking about for a while, but I haven't come up with a really satisfactory solution: I want to do a discrete Fourier transform on data that has been sampled at 2 different sampling frequencies. I've attached a picture of what my data will look like...
