TLDR
In this paper, the mathematics of an implementation of an iris recognition system is examined and it is shown that the determination of a crucial spread parameter is made on implicit assumptions that are not fulfilled.Abstract:
Most probability and statistics textbooks are loaded with dice, coins, and balls in urns. These are perfect metaphors for actual phenomena where uncertainty plays a role. However, students will greatly appreciate a real-life example. In this paper we examine the mathematics of an implementation of an iris recognition system. We show that the determination of a crucial spread parameter is made on implicit assumptions that are not fulfilled. Some elementary probability theory calculations show that this leads in general to an optimistic assessment of the reliability of the identification system. Then we use a famous inequality to quantify this optimism.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of the probability mass function of the Markov bi-nomial distribution was studied and necessary and sufficient conditions for the distribution to be unimodal, bimodal or trimodal were given.
Perceptions of Biometric Experts on Whether or Not Biometric Modalities Will Combat Identity Fraud.
TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative study ascertained the perceptions of biometric industry experts whether or not biometric modalities will combat identity fraud, and the result of this study has highlighted the significance of how biometric identification can augment an important stratum of defense to the total method of identifying a person.
