Random Search for a Probable Object.

Abstract

A search is undertaken for an object thought to be present with an unknown probability, using a detection scheme whose efficiency is also uncertain. After a certain interval, the search is called off, with the object unfound; what are the posterior-to-experiment estimates of presence and detection efficiency? It is shown that those two unknown quantities interact in an interesting manner as the unsuccessful search goes on. Additional keywords: Bayesian estimation; mathematical models; Charts. (Author)
