  2. Outline • Introduction • Objectives • System Model • MSPR Tests • Test δa– Bayesian Optimality • Test δb– LLR test • Asymptotic Optimality of MSPR Tests • The case of i.i.d. Observations • Higher-order Approximation for accurate results • Conclusions

  3. Intro • MSPRT – Multiple hypothesis + SPRT • Many applications need M≥2 hypothesis • Multiple-resolution radar systems • CDMA systems • The quasi-Bayesian MSPRT with expected sample size in asymptotical i.i.d case was established by V. Veeravalli. Need… • make accurate decision by shortest observation time for MSPRT

  4. Objectives • Continue investigate the asymptotic behaviors for two MSPRTs • Test δa quasi-Bayesian optimality • Test δb log-likelihood-ratio (LLR) test Goal: • Asymptotically optimal to any positive moment of stopping time distribution. • minimize average observation time and generalize the results for most environments.

  5. System Model • The sequential testing of M hypotheses ( ). • . is a sequential hypothesis test. • d is “terminal decision function”; d=i, Hioccurs • is the prior distribution hypotheses. • loss function: • In case of zero-one : • is the conditional error probability.

  6. Ri is the risk function: • when and =Pr[accepting Hi incorrectly] • The class of test: • The predefined value:

  7. Z is the log-likelihood function and ratio (up to given time n) • is the positive threshold and is defined by • is the expected stopping time • (average stopping time)

  8. Recap… • Introduction • Objectives • System Model • MSPR Tests • Test δa– Bayesian Optimality • Test δb– LLR test • Asymptotic Optimality of MSPR Tests • The case of i.i.d. Observations • Higher-order Approximation for accurate results • Conclusions

  9. Test δa • and is applied by a Bayesian framework. If , then If , then

  10. In the special case of zero-one loss: • Remark: stop as soon as the largest posterior probability exceeds a threshold, A.

  11. Test δb • and is corresponded to LLR test • vi is the accepting time for Hi

  12. In the special case of zero-one loss: If , then

  13. Recap… • Introduction • Objectives • System Model • MSPR Tests • Test δa– Bayesian Optimality • Test δb– LLR test • Asymptotic Optimality of Ei[T] inMSPRT • The case of i.i.d. Observations • Higher-order Approximation for accurate results • Conclusions

  14. Asymptotic Optimality • is Kullback-Leibler (KL) information distance • is minimal distance between Hi and others • Constraints: • Dijmust be positive, finite • Ri to 0 • Asymptotic lower bounds for any positive moments of stopping time:

  15. Now, the minimal expected stopping time in asymptotic optimality:

  16. Higher-order Approximation • In order to has accurate results, the higher order approx. expected stopping time Is estimated: • Using non-linear renewal theory, & are now in form of random walk crossing a constant boundary + the non-linear term “slowly changing” • The result of “slowly changing” is that limiting overshot (xi) of random walk over a fixed threshold are unchanged • Redefined to • When “r=M-1” and “\i” exclusion of “i” from the set • hr,i is expected value of max r zero-mean normal r.v.

  17. The expected stopping time in higher-order approx. for Test δb and Test δa :

  18. Conclusion • The proposed MSPRT are asymptotically optimal under fairly general conditions in discrete or continuous time, stochastic models, and, …etc. • Asymptotically optimal minimize any positive moment of the stopping time (average observation time) in both generalized approx. by “risk” go to zero, and higher-order approximations , up to a vanishing term by non-linear renewal theory.
