Polynomial psychometric functions in audition

TLDR
In this paper, for the case of auditory energy detection in which a noise-filled interval is compared with a sine wave in noise, the psychometric functions are shown to have polynomial form.

Signal detection theory and psychophysics

TL;DR: This book discusses statistical decision theory and sensory processes in signal detection theory and psychophysics and describes how these processes affect decision-making.

Mathematical analysis of random noise

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the representations of the noise currents given in Section 2.8 to derive some statistical properties of I(t) and its zeros and maxima.

Energy detection of unknown deterministic signals

H. Urkowitz
TL;DR: By using Shannon's sampling formula, the problem of the detection of a deterministic signal in white Gaussian noise, by means of an energy-measuring device, reduces to the consideration of the sum of the squares of statistically independent Gaussian variates.

The theory of signal detectability

TL;DR: Seven special cases which are presented were chosen from the simplest problems in signal detection which closely represent practical situations and should serve to suggest methods for attacking other simple signal detection problems and to give insight into problems too complicated to allow a direct solution.
