Abstract:
In Kelley, Reed, and Root 1960, it was shown that if the log of the likelihood ratio for detecting a signal in stationary Gaussian noise is phi sub T when the data is zt, t epsilon -T,T and phi when the data is zt, t epsilon minus infinity, infinity, then Var phi sub T increases monotonically to Varphi as T approaches infinity. Recently, this result was extended to vector-valued stationary noise processes by Salehi 1968. In each case the purpose was to show that the probability of error for t epsilon -T,T converges to the probability of error for t epsilon minus infinity, infinity. The purpose of this paper is to show that both of the results above are but special cases of a more fundamental result to be given here. Author
