Estimation of Sensor Detection Probabilities with Data from Concurrent Sensors.
Abstract
When several sensors are concurrently scanning the same domain for signals, varying numbers of sensors may detect each signal. On some occasions, a signal may not be detected by any of the receivers. Using detection data collected from all the receivers over a period of scanning, it is possible to estimate the total number of signals that occurred in that period (including those that were not detected at all), as well as the detection probabilities for the individual receivers. Several estimators for these quantities are developed, in the contexts of several models concerning the signal generation process and the receiver behavior. (Author)
