Histogram to PDF in Matlab — normalize bins and overlay the theoretical curve

Turn a Matlab histogram into an estimated PDF: normalize by sample count and bin width, then overlay normpdf / theoretical densities for Gaussian, Rayleigh, and exponential checks.

Linear Models – Least Squares Estimator (LSE)

Key focus: Understand step by step, the least squares estimator for parameter estimation. Hands-on example to fit a curve using least squares estimation Background: The various estimation concepts/techniques like Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimation (MVUE), Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) – all falling under the umbrella of classical estimation – require assumptions/knowledge … Read more

Block Interleaver Design for RS codes

Reed-Solomon (RS) codes are powerhouse error-correcting tools, but they have a specific Achilles’ heel: if a burst inside one codeword exceeds the correction radius \(t = \lfloor (n-k)/2 \rfloor\), a bounded-distance decoder fails on that codeword. Block Interleaving is the mathematical bridge that allows RS codes to survive massive, contiguous bursts by spreading the damage … Read more
