This video introduces the notions of independence, conditional
densities, and Bayes's theorem. The use of independence in signal
processing applications such as Blind Source Separation is introduced,
although this will be expanded in future videos on Statistical Signal
Processing. Analytical tests for independence given the probability
density function is considered for a couple of examples, including
deriving the joint density for independent Gaussian random variables.
Conditional densities are then introduced, and Bayes theorem for solving
inverse problems is developed from this. The final section of the video
then considers in detail the problem of estimating a parameter from a
noisy observation.
