In this study, the effects of adding independent noise to observations of a suboptimal detector are studied for M-ary hypothesis-testing problems according to the minimax criterion. It is shown that the optimal additional ...

Under certain conditions, addition of noise can enhance performance of suboptimal detectors, which is called the stochastic resonance (SR) effect. In this paper, the effects of SR are investigated for conventional detectors ...

Performance of some suboptimal detectors can be improved by adding independent noise to their observations. In this paper, the effects of adding independent noise to observations of a detector are investigated for binary ...

Effects of additive independent noise are investigated for sub-optimal detectors according to the restricted Bayes criterion. The statistics of optimal additive noise are characterized. Also, sufficient conditions for ...
