AUTOMATIC DISTRIBUTION-FREE STATISTICAL SIGNAL DETECTION. A REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF AVAILABLE TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Distribution-free statistical techniques are reviewed and evaluated for possible application to the signal detection problem. These techniques are classified into three types: (1) The noise distribution is known but the signal- plusnoise is not, (2) neither distribution is known but a pure-noise sample is available, and (3) the distributions and a pure-noise sample are all unavailable. Several of the distribution-free detectors are almost as efficient as their parametric counterparts and several are uniformly better than the parametric detectors for certain classes of Gaussian noise.
