Abstract :
We review two different strategies for minimax detection of complex signals with unknown parameters in additive Gaussian noise. The first strategy is based on the least-favorable distribution of the unknown parameters. The second strategy is a distribution-free approach which seeks to maximize performance for the worst case parameter values. Conditions are given under which the two detectors produce identical performance.
