Abstract

We present results for bootstrap detection procedures that make use of tolerance regions. The bootstrap matched-filter and the CFAR bootstrap matched filter are designed so that with a given probability the level of the test is not exceeded. Simulation results show that the actual false alarm rate is consistently lower than that of the bootstrap matched filter. Real data experiments are also presented. They demonstrate the power of bootstrap and tolerance region principles in signal detection.
