Content

This course provides an introduction to random surfaces (so-called fields) which are random processes with spatial index.

The main topics are:

  • Correlation theory
  • Basic models of random fields
  • Integral- and sum-representation of random fields
  • Statistical methods for random fields

The course will be taught in English.
