Primes

• Monitoring
  • This tradeoff is unavoidable; monitoring design must acknowledge and calibrate it consciously—the sensitivity-specificity frontier Swets (1988) formalized via signal-detection theory and ROC analysis.

    This sourceAuthoritative review applying signal-detection theory and ROC analysis to diagnostic and alerting systems; formalizes the unavoidable sensitivity-specificity tradeoff at the heart of threshold tuning.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
