The Geometry of Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test [PDF]
The generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) for composite hypothesis testing problems is studied from a geometric perspective. An information-geometrical interpretation of the GLRT is proposed based on the geometry of curved exponential families.

Performance Evaluation of Source Camera Attribution by Using Likelihood Ratio Methods [PDF]
Performance evaluation of source camera attribution methods typically stop at the level of analysis of hard to interpret similarity scores. Standard analytic tools include Detection Error Trade-off or Receiver Operating Characteristic curves, or other ...

Obtaining reliable likelihood ratio tests from simulated likelihood functions. [PDF]
MIXED MODELS: Models allowing for continuous heterogeneity by assuming that value of one or more parameters follow a specified distribution have become increasingly popular. This is known as 'mixing' parameters, and it is standard practice by researchers-

Determination and Validation of a Lower Cut Off Value of Cerebrospinal Fluid Adenosine Deaminase (CSF-ADA) Activity in Diagnosis of Tuberculous Meningitis [PDF]
Introduction: Tuberculous meningitis is an infection of the meninges caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is one of the most common infectious diseases of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and a major health problem in developing countries like ...

Log-Likelihood Ratio to Improve Hard DecisionViterbi Algorithm [PDF]
Hard decision of Viterbi decoder suffer from the need of high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) to achieve reasonable Bit Error Rate (BER). For the purpose of improving the efficiency of its performance, it must increase the constraint length of the code, in ...
