Fifty six children aged from 6-16 years who wet their beds at night were entered into a controlled trial of two alarm devices: a traditional alarm using a wet sensor mat on the bed attached to an alarm bell out of reach of the child, and a mini alarm system incorporating a tiny perineal wet sensor attached to a small alarm worn on the child's clothing. A quota allocation system ensured comparab...

Design and performance results are presented for a generic example as an application of optimal alarm systems, appealing to its interaction and reliance on data mining and machine learning techniques. By using an optimal alarm system, the fewest false alarms are elicited for a fixed detection probability of a specifically defined level-crossing event. The aim of this paper is to investigate the...
