A minimum of 75% attendance is compulsory.
A minimum of 60% attendance is necessary with valid medical grounds.
Course Description:
The course presents an introductory treatment of the problems of detection and estimation. Detection attempts to to decide when an event of interest occurs, while estimation attempts to determine more information about that event, based on observations or data. The course is theoretical in flavour.
