Fundamentals of Statistical Signal Processing, Volume 3 1st Edition

I wish I had had this book in 1990, or before. It is like a conversation with a friend who is invested in providing as much insight as the subject necessitates.

I used Dr. Kay's other two textbooks in classes during graduate school quite a few years ago. Those two were a bit theoretical, but established a very good groundwork. This textbook is more practical, including a section on just generally how to approach signal processing or analysis problems. I have used that section to teach some undergrads how to approach this type of problem.Aside from the above, my primary goal with this book is to find any useful "rules of thumb", or "gems" that make data analysis or signal processing easier to do practically. So far, I am only about a quarter through the book (I'm just reading as I have time). One point that I have learned from the book was how there are no free lunches. There is a tradeoff between more robust approaches and more optimal versions that may take advantage of a priori information. I may have known that intuitively, but not as explicitly as I did previous to this book.

Dr. Kay is the best - a rock star of the signal processing community. I have all three of this series, each better than the last. This one has a focus on how to go about solving problems, in general, rather than more theory and background. Given a real-world problem to solve, where does one start? After studying for years, we know a lot of the same things as Dr. Kay, but how would he go about solving the same problem? This text is a glimpse into those decades of experience. I highly recommend this text and this series.

Very good service and product.Book has a complete information about modulation theory.I recommend this book for students of telecommunications

Excellent!
