Second, we used DISTANCE [20] to calculate indices of abundance using the shapes of detection functions (estimates of how the probability of detecting a bird changes with distance from the point).
Figure 4(b) plots a detection-curve, described as the probability of detecting a transcript from the liver sample as a function of its normalized abundance.
In this paper, we propose a detection probability model to calculate the probability of detecting a transmitter at any location around the transmitter.
These estimates do not take into account 2 important sources of error: detection error, related to the fact that the probability of detecting a bird is <1, and survey error, associated with spatial and temporal variability (37 ).
For single photons, the intensity profile gives the probability of detecting a photon at a certain point.
The probability of detecting a neutron from the spontaneous fission of 252Cf using NEUANCE is ∼47%.
We demonstrate that the probability of detecting a spike coincidence characteristically decays with the applied dither interval.
Compared to an equally spaced array the probability of detecting a leak can be nearly doubled by an optimal placement of the available sensors.
The objective is to present a procedure for optimizing the layout of a fixed array of chemical sensors on the seafloor, using the probability of detecting a leak as metric.
The probability of detecting a positive case, if present, must be high (>95 or >99%) to ensure that there is a low or negligible risk of transmission to humans through the food chain.
Using equation (10), we can calculate the probability of detecting a transmitter at the center of.
