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.
