This paper discusses a simple problem in detection theory using a model with a simple discretized space. This allows the probability problem to be analyzed algebraically to demonstrate that separate targets, independent before entering the detection space, do not have probabilistically independent detection probability distributions. Several variants of the basic case are discussed.

Fluid flow with three upstream configurations in freezing tubes
Whitehead, John A. (American Geophysical Union, 2021-05-17)The accumulation of frozen liquid around a central passageway of melt as it flows through a freezing region can make calculations very challenging. To both illustrate and to quantify some of these challenges from freezing, ... -

Quantifying the sensitivity of simulated climate change to model configuration
Lynn, Barry H.; Healy, Richard; Druyan, Leonard M. (2008-05-23)This study used “factor separation” to quantify the sensitivity of simulated present and future surface temperatures and precipitation to alternative regional climate model physics components. The method enables a quantitative ...
