This course provides an introduction to an important contemporary statistical toolset for applications including communication systems, signal processing, financial engineering, data science, machine learning, biomedical engineering and a wealth of other high-dimensional statistical applications. The course will cover topics including introduction to random matrix theory models in engineering; eigenvalue distributions; Wishart and related distributions; finite-dimensional and large-dimensional techniques. These topics will be supplemented by plentiful applications across a broad range of traditional and emerging domains involving big data sets.
