Title: Adaptive Design for Bio/Chem Detector Test and Evaluation

Abstract:

In this paper we present an approach to biological and chemical detection systems. The design of the test and evaluation protocol is based on adaptive design principles that permit more efficient use of test resources. The adaptive approach accounts for the full uncertainty in detector performance through the use of a Bayesian hierarchical modeling analysis approach. We illustrate the methodology on a biological detection system.
