Frequently Asked Questions (8)
Q2. What are the future works in "Optimal particle-filter-based detector" ?
An interesting topic for further research is to compare the proposed method, which is based on an NP-optimal detector, to one which is based on a Bernoulli filter [ 10 ], [ 13 ].
Q3. What is the NP optimality for a (radar) sensor?
The authors stress that the NP optimality is highly desired in a (radar) sensor application, because it keeps the false alarm probability fixed at a specific (low) level and maximizes the probability of detection.
Q4. What is the probability of a particle filter?
Suppose that the likelihood p(zk | sk) is bounded and continuous as a function of sk and the transition density p(sk | sk−1) satisfies the so-called Feller property (see, e.g., [2]).
Q5. what is the likelihood ratio test for false alarm?
(10)The likelihood ratio test rejects the null hypothesis if L > τ , where τ is chosen in such a way that the probability of false alarm is below a certain acceptable threshold.
Q6. What is the significance density of the particle filter?
In their analysis, the authors assume that the detection scheme uses a Sequential Importance Resampling (SIR) particle filter with the importance density to be the state predictive density and resampling performed at each time step k; see, e.g., [3].
Q7. What is the significance density of the particles?
the particles are not independent, whereas in standard statistics literature, when one considers an empirical distribution of the form (7), the samples (particles) are, usually, considered to be so.
Q8. What is the a posteriori distribution of the particle filter?
Then the empirical a posteriori distribution is given by (see, e.g., [2] and [1]):P̂N (sk) := 1N N∑ i=1 u(sk − s̃ik), (7)where u(.) is the Heaviside step function [4].
