Abstract
A detailed discussion of statistical sensor performance analysis was presented in a previous SPIE publication. The essential point of the paper was to the effect that responsible sensor performance analysis in real world conditions required statistical formulations and techniques in order to obtain complete and unambiguous conclusions. In this earlier paper illustrations were presented of applications using this statistical approach. In addition, a method was developed for circumventing the difficulties inherent in Monte Carlo processes, customarily considered necessary for the statistical analyses of interest. It was mentioned in this previous work that further development of the foundations of the technique were in progress. The primary purpose of the present paper is to convey those elements of progress which have been achieved since the original work was presented.
