A Bibliography on Nonparametric Detection. 1959-1979.

The field of nonparametric detection has attracted increasing attention over the last several years. Nonparametric detection procedures have found applications in diverse areas such as radar and sonar, pattern recognition, communication theory, fault detection, and bio-medical signal processing. Much of the available literature on this topic is to be found as papers published in a variety of technical journals and proceedings of conferences. The following alphabetically ordered list was compiled in an attempt to collect in one place most of the works on nonparametric detection which have appeared in the last twenty year period. The list does not include technical reports of limited availability, and is also confined to the engineering literature, so that the sizeable body of statistical literature has been omitted. However, it should be possible to obtain much of this literature indirectly through the entries indexed. Although it is believed that this bibliography is fairly complete, some inadvertent omissions are inevitable, given the variety of the sources, and the inherent difficulty of compiling such a bibliography.
