Precise and approximate formulas are explained, which are relatively simple and can be used for engineering applications such as the design of devices which can overcome the high initial uncertainty of the self-training period. The information presented in the monograph can be used to implement adaptive signal processing devices capable of detecting or recognizing the wanted signals (with a priori unknown statistical properties) against the background noise. The applications presented can be used in a wide range of fields including medicine, radiolocation, telecommunications, surface quality control (flaw detection), image recognition, thermal noise analysis for the design of semiconductors, and calculation of excessive load in mechanics. Introduces English-speaking students and researchers in to the results obtained in the former Soviet/ Russian academic institutions within last few decades. Supplies a range of applications suitable for all levels from undergraduate to professional. Contains computer simulations. -- UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1606/2013941676-d.html ER -
