Abstract:

Measurements of malware detection metrics are important in the research fields of cyber security. One of the challenging problems of developing such security metrics is due to the unknown (or noisy) ground truth. In this research, we use a Bayesian framework to study the predictive distribution of malware detection. Simulation studies are carried out using synthetic data with known ground truth and accuracies in estimations are compared. Real data is also applied with the proposed approach.
