The problem of identifying regions spatially interesting, different or adversarial behavior is inherent to many practical applications involving distributed multisensor systems. In this work, we develop a general framework stemming from multiple hypothesis testing identify such regions. A discrete spatial grid assumed for the monitored environment. points associated with hypotheses are identifi...

This paper considers the problem of sequential binary hypothesis testing based on observations from a network $m$ sensors where subset is compromised by malicious adversary. The asymptotic average sample number required to reach certain...

We study the problem of mismatched binary hypothesis testing between i.i.d. distributions. analyze tradeoff pairwise error probability exponents when actual distributions generating observation are different from used in likelihood ratio test, sequential and Hoeffding’s generalized test composite setting. When real within a small divergence ball distributions, we find deviation worst-case expon...

Many of the nominal-the-best quality characteristics important machine tool components, such as inner or outer diameters, have asymmetric tolerances. An tolerance index is a function for average process and standard deviation. Unfortunately, it difficult to obtain 100(1−α)% confidence interval index. Therefore, this study adopts Boole’s inequality DeMorgan’s theorem find combined region well Ne...

One of the key tasks in physics is to perform measurements order determine state a system. Often, are aimed at determining values physical parameters, but one can also ask simpler questions, such as ``is system A or B?''. In quantum mechanics, latter type be studied and optimized using framework hypothesis testing. many cases explicitly find optimal measurement limit where has simultaneous acce...

Empirical studies of fishers’ preferences have found that most fishers are risk-averse, while expected-utility theory predicts risk neutrality even for sizable stakes. We test this prediction using data from a stated choice experiment with Swedish commercial fishers. Our results show that almost 90% of the respondents do not behave as expected-utility maximizers. 48% of the fishers can be broad...
