Johnson, "An Information processing approach to distributed detection," 2003.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/20060Conference PaperWe apply the recent theory of information processing to a hybrid distributed detection architecture that combines the traditional parallel and tandem architectures. Central to this theory is the Kullback-Leibler discrimination distance and quantity known as the information transfer ratio, defined as defined as the ratio of the KL distances between the distributions characterizing the input and output of a system. We characterize the asymptotic performance of proposed hybrid system and compare it with the performance of the parallel, tandem and centralized architectures. We conclude with an illustrative example.engdistributed detectioninformation processingInformation ProcessingConference paperdistributed detectioninformation processing
