Global Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curves for Three Network Topologies
Abstract
In warfare analysis, obtaining a single descriptor of a system is critical. As the focus on networking and information technology in warfare analysis intensifies, the ability to describe a system quickly and easily will be imperative. This document surveys multisensor detection work with a focus on how to combine multiple receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves into a single network or global metric. A network ROC curve is a rapid and simple way to explain the performance of a system. While many of the formulas presented here are difficult to solve, through parametric analysis they can provide insight into trends in various warfare areas where ROC curves arise including detection/classification, command and control, and decision-making.
