The sensitivity and timeliness of the algorithms tested for false alarm rates approximating 0.05 and 0.01 are summarised in Tables 2 and 3, and Additional file 1. Algorithm performance was most strongly dependent on the desired false alarm rate for surveillance, followed by the size of the outbreak and the extent of clustering.
Other tests include those for alarm and watch functions, gradient performance, pressure/flow, pump and leakage.
Eric Griez, an experimental psychiatrist at the University of Maastricht, the Netherlands, came up with a test for the false-alarm theory.
It has been proven in [29] that the optimal threshold for the CUSUM test for a predefined false alarm is the threshold that leads to an average number of changes equal to under, that is, when there are no real changes.

Former South African president Nelson Mandela has been admitted to hospital for medical tests, although the government said there was no cause for alarm.
All multiple comparisons were significant after adjustment for repeated testing for the false alarm range 0 0.005 (all p ≤ 0.005).
