ABSTRACT

This chapter deals with non-parametric detection, a topic that is more difficult to analyze than the detection problems discussed in Chapter 4. We shall introduce the reader to the topic in a simple fashion. This chapter serves as an introduction to non-parametric and sequential likelihood ratio detection and is meant to make the reader aware of these topics as well as to provide some references. Much information about these topics can be found in the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace, and some detailed information is also available in Helstrom [1], in Kazakos and Kazakos [2], and in [3-5,7,8].
