The Signal as Noise

The main purpose of this book is to provide an overview of the recent studies in this field and the applications in different research studies. The author provide a series of practical applications of their recent studies aimed at the reduction of noise in different environments. This book is a combination of theory and practice based on the latest research. The studies in this book range from evaluation methods for the perception of noise and outline forecast criteria that can be integrated with applications for acoustic mapping as well as the use of innovative techniques and materials for its abatement.

by Antonio F. Gualtierotti (Author)
Derives a new likelihood function for solving basic problems in the theory of signal detection
Completes the Cramér-Hida representation theory

Includes the necessary details to make the theory ready for application
References to statistical communication theory illustrate the power of the mathematics involved

This book presents a MATLAB®-based approach to solving the problems of undesirable noise generation and transmission by structures and of undesirable vibration within structures in response to environmental or operational forces. The book will be of considerable interest to the student of vibration and noise control and also to academic researchers working in the field. It’s tutorial features will help practitioners who wish to update their knowledge with self-study.

Nate Silver built an innovative system for predicting baseball performance, predicted the 2008 election within a hair's breadth, and became a national sensation as a blogger - all by the time he was 30. The New York Times now publishes FiveThirtyEight.com, where Silver is one of the nation's most influential political forecasters.
