Course Description

In this course, observation as a random variable and relation with probability theory, any kind of concepts related with the subjects, models developed and used to understand the quality of the observations and results are covered. In addition, these models and similar adjustment calculation methods used in the solution of the geodetic problems are the main subjects of the course.
