"Detection Theory" is an introduction to one of the most important
tools for analysis of data where choices must be made and
performance is not perfect. Originally developed for evaluation of
electronic detection, detection theory was adopted by psychologists
as a way to understand sensory decision making, then embraced by
students of human memory. It has since been utilized in areas as
diverse as animal behavior and X-ray diagnosis.
This book covers the basic principles of detection theory, with
separate initial chapters on measuring detection and evaluating
decision criteria. Some other features include:
*complete tools for application, including flowcharts, tables,
pointers, and software;
*student-friendly language;
*complete coverage of content area, including both one-dimensional
and multidimensional models;
*separate, systematic coverage of sensitivity and response bias
measurement;
*integrated treatment of threshold and nonparametric approaches;
*an organized, tutorial level introduction to multidimensional
detection theory;
*popular discrimination paradigms presented as applications of
multidimensional detection theory; and
*a new chapter on ideal observers and an updated chapter on
adaptive threshold measurement.
This up-to-date summary of signal detection theory is both a
self-contained reference work for users and a readable text for
graduate students and other researchers learning the material
either in courses or on their own.
