Practical considerations in empirical probability of detection study design

Materials Evaluation

Spencer, Floyd W.

The purposes of a POD study often go beyond the estimation of a single curve based on discontinuity size. The larger goals of a particular POD study will dictate the need for additional planning beyond just deciding on the number of discontinuities and discontinuity-free areas to be included in a test specimen set. The bigger concerns lead to implementation issues that need to be planned for and fully specified prior to the collection of data. These bigger issues have been discussed under the general program areas of experimental design, protocol development and logistic and dress rehearsal. Two different programs were also summarized. Each program led to very different experimental plans. However, the common element in these programs was the use of the POD study as the basic metric for establishing capabilities and important influencing factors. Both programs were developed under the guidelines noted and referenced. Results from these studies are discussed in more detail in Spencer (2007).
