| Course contents : | 1. Introduction - experimental errors and noise - instrumental profile 2. Fourier analysis - sampling and interpolation - correlation - spectral analysis 3. Modelling of data: - inductive methods - maximum likelihood - least squares fitting 4. deconvolution - Fourier methods - direct elementary methods - maximum entrop method - bayesian methods - MCS method | |||||

| Course objective : | To understand and experiment the basic principles of experimental data processing in physical science. | |||||
| ||||||
| Prerequisites : | Basics of algebra, mathematical analysis, probability and statistics. Introductory phyics. | |||||
| ||||||
| Workshops : | Computer exercises. The student will have to cope with typical examples of data, similar to those an experimental physicist may have to deal with in his research. | |||||
| ||||||
| Organization : | Theoretical lectures (about 1h30). Computer exercises (about 2h). | |||||
| ||||||
| Written notes : | Photocopies of transparencies. | |||||
| ||||||
| Assessment : | The examination consists in solving two data analysis problems, similar to those carried out during the computer exercises. This is followed by a discussion of the results and of the relevant methods. | |||||
