Fuzzy Signal Detection Theory: a Monte Carlo Investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fuzzy Signal Detection Theory (FSDT) has the potential of enhancing performance measures in detection tasks in which precision of Signal Detection Theory (SDT) analysis is limited by discrete mutually exclusive categorization of the state of the world and/or responses available to the observer. While there have been empirical efforts to demonstrate the benefits and tenability of FSDT, the question still remains whether traditional SDT computational procedures for measures of sensitivity and bias can be used with FSDT procedures. Through the use of Monte Carlo simulation and ROC analysis, the current study examined whether data analyzed by FSDT met the assumptions of traditional SDT on which sensitivity and bias measures are predicated. The results indicated that FSDT does in fact meet the normality and equal variance assumptions of SDT. However, the results also indicated that further theoretical elaboration of ‘fuzzy criterion setting’ is necessary.

Fuzzy likelihood ratio test for cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio
Efficient and reliable spectrum sensing is an essential requirement in cognitive radio networks. One challenge faced in the spectrum sensing is the existence of the noise power uncertainty. This paper proposes a cooperative spectrum sensing scheme using fuzzy set theory to mitigate the noise power uncertainty. In this scheme, the noise power uncertainty in each Secondary User (SU) is modeled as...

The evaluation of uncertainties according to the „„Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement‟‟ is presented in this study based on a novel Fuzzy-randomvariables approach. Whereas the classically proposed methods like Monte Carlo techniques treat all uncertainties as having a random nature, the fuzzy technique distinguishes between aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties. The aleator...
