Abstract

Introduction to different methods for the analysis of time-dependent data.

Objective

Verständnis verschiedener Methoden der Analyse von zeitabhängigen Messdaten.

Content

Anhand aktueller Messdaten werden Prinzipien Erlaeutert sowie verschiedene Auswertungsmethoden ausprobiert: determinierte und regellose Vorgaenge, stationaere und nicht-stationaere Vorgaenge, Abtasttheorem, Trendanalyse, Auto- und Kreuzkorrelation, Frequenzanalyse mittels Fourier Transformation und Modellanpassung. Einfuehrung in MATLAB.
