Decentralized Bayesian Detection Theory
PRAMOD K. VARSHNEY Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York
1. Introduction
Classical Bayesian hypothesis testing is based on centralized processing (Van Trees, 1968). A single agent or multiple agents collect observations about the state of the environment and transmit them to a central location for processing. Given the a priori probabilities and conditional densities of the observations under each hypothesis, fixed costs are assigned to each possible course of action. Optimum decision rules are then derived which minimize the average cost. The resulting decision rule is a likelihood ratio test.
There has been a lot of recent interest in the area of decentralized decision making. Under this paradigm, multiple agents collect observations about the state of the environment. These observations are processed by the agent, and the partial result to the global hypothesis-testing problem is transmitted to the data fusion center, which is responsible for combining the partial results to yield a global inference. Partial results could be in the form of sufficient statistics, some other form of compressed data, or even tentative decisions. The fusion center must solve a hypothesis-testing problem to yield the global inference, with incoming data being treated as its observations. Thus we are faced with...
