The document outlines three problems related to detection theory. Problem 1 involves observations that are sums of normal and Bernoulli random variables and testing hypotheses about their mean. Problem 2 involves observations that are sums of normal and signal terms and testing hypotheses about their variance. Problem 3 specifies a signal detection problem and shows the Neyman-Pearson critical region is of a certain form.

Problem Set 5
1. (Poor III.F.8) Suppose we have observations Yk = Nk + θSk , k = 1, . . . , n, where N ∼
N (0, I) and where S1 , . . . , Sn are i.i.d. random variables, independent of N , and each taking on the values +1 and −1 with equal probabilities of 1/2. (a) Find the likelihood ratio for testing H0 : θ = 0 versus H1 : θ = A, where A is a known constant. (b) For the case n = 1, find the Neyman-Pearson rule and corresponding detection probability for false-alarm probability α ∈ (0, 1), for the hypotheses of (a). (c) Is there a UMP test of H0 : θ = 0 versus H1 : θ 6= 0 in this model? If so, why and what is it? If not, why not? Consider the cases n = 1 and n > 1 separately. 2. (Poor III.F.13) Consider the model Yk = θ1/2 sk Rk + Nk , k = 1, . . . , n, where s1 , s2 , . . . , sn is a known signal sequence, θ ≥ 0 is a constant, and R1 , R2 , . . . , Rn , N1 , N2 , . . . , Nn are i.i.d. N (0, 1) random variables. (a) Consider the hypothesis pair H0 : θ = 0 versus H1 : θ = A, where A is a known positive constant. Describe the structure of the Neyman-Pearson detector. (b) Consider now the hypothesis pair H0 : θ = 0 versus H1 : θ > 0. Under what conditions on s1 , s2 , . . . , sn does a UMP test exist? (c) For the hypothesis pair in part (b) with s1 , s2 , . . . , sn general, is there a locally optimum detector? If so, find it. If not, describe the generalized likelihood ratio test. 3. (Poor III.F.14 (a)) Consider the following hypothesis about a sequence Y1 , Y2 , . . . , Yn , of real observations: H0 : Yk = Nk , k = 1, . . . , n, versus H1 : Yk = Nk + Θsk , k = 1, 2, . . . , n, where N1 , N2 , . . . , Nn is a sequence of i.i.d. N (0, σ 2 ) random variables; where s1 , s2 , . . . , sn is a known signal sequence satisfying sT s = 1; and where Θ is a N (µ, v 2 ) random variable, independent of N1 , N2 , . . . , Nn . Show that the critical region for Neyman-Pearson testing between these two hypotheses is of the form v2 T 2
T 0 Γ1 = µs y + 2 |s y| > τ , 2σ where τ 0 is an appropriately chosen threshold. [Hint: The covariance matrix of Y equals σ 2 I + v 2 ssT under hypothesis H1 .]
