In this paper several basic techniques for signal processing and analysis are surveyed. Firstly by the intervention of the uncertainty principle, an equality sign may have different degree of precision if non commutable operators are applied. Seconds y maximum entropy estimate and randam process based viewpoint must be enhanced to get rid of the well established and reigning deterministic image of science. Thirdly techniques for the analysis of a signal namely detection. ess]motion and modulation are explained as well as the positive definiteness of a covariance function, Karhunen-Loeve expansion and SVD of an image.
