Abstract
A method and system of estimating the performance of a classifier system based on a reported confusion matrix includes, in one embodiment, parameters fit to observed confusion matrices, such that the expected performance of decision detection versus the probability of not-in-library reports can be estimated based on the forced decision confusion matrix. The approach also lends itself to a general methodology for modeling classes of confusers in a statistical manner, which can be extended to modeling clutter severity.
