TOPIC: Signal Detection Theory

Answer 1

1.In signal detection theory, if a security camera detects a burglar when he enters a building, it is called a HIT

What is HIT?

When a signal is present and it is identified by the system/camera then it is called as HIT

2.If the burglar enters a building without being detected, it is called a MISS

What is MISS?

When a signal is present and it is not identified by the system/camera then it is called as MISS

3.If the security camera detects a cat rather than a burglar and alerts the building guard, it is called false alarm in signal detection theory.

What is false alarm in signal detection theory.?

When a wrong object is identified by the system/camera and triggers the alarm then it is called as false alarm

4.In signal detection theory, once there is a signal, the probability of hit and the probability of miss sum to 1.

i.e. P(HIT) + P(MISS) =1
