An application of the generalized Neyman-Pearson fuzzy test to stochastic-signal detection

In the article an application of the fuzzy testing of hypothesis to the stochastic-signal detection problem is considered when the signal-to-noise ratio approaches zero. We first obtain the general relationship between the test statistic of the locally optimum fuzzy detector and that of the locally optimum detector. Based on this result, the test statistic and structures of the locally optimum fuzzy detector for stochastic signals are obtained. Several aspects of the locally optimum fuzzy nonlinearity for stochastic signals are also described. Finally, performance characteristics of the locally optimum fuzzy detector are briefly discussed. >
