Applications
Numerous fields require the use of estimation theory. Some of these fields include (but are by no means limited to):
- Interpretation of scientific experiments
- Signal processing
- Clinical trials
- Opinion polls
- Quality control
- Telecommunications
- Project management
- Software engineering
- Control theory (in particular Adaptive control)
- Network intrusion detection system
- Orbit determination
Measured data are likely to be subject to noise or uncertainty and it is through statistical probability that optimal solutions are sought to extract as much information from the data as possible.
