Principles of Signal Detection and Parameter Estimation

Asadiscipline,signaldetectionhasevolvedsigni?cantlyoverthelast40years. Some changes have been caused by technical advances, like the development of robust detection methods, or the use of the theory of large deviations to characterize the asymptotic performance of tests, but most changes have been caused by transformations in the engineering systems to which detection te- niques are applied.
