Basic Statistics and Data Analysis Tools



Data download:

The video introduces basic methods in statistics and three Matlab scripts that can be used to analyse measured data for example from wind tunnel testing. The scripts allow basic signal processing (detrending and digital filtering), assessment of probability and spectral densities (Matlab signal processing toolbox required!), the collection of maximum and minimum extremes from sub-series for extreme value analysis, correlation between two time series and the calculation of the joint probability density function.

The video is used for education at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in course 11374 “Seismic and Wind Engineering” and for preparation of wind tunnel testing in civil engineering. For further information see www.windengineering.byg.dtu.dk or contact the author under [email protected].
