Optimal One-Shot Schemes for Multi-Source Quickest Detection
This paper explores the multi-source quickest detection problem utilizing one-shot schemes, focusing on the decentralized model of signal detection. It presents an optimal strategy using the CUSUM method while addressing trade-offs between the speed of detection and false alarm rates. The analysis includes asymptotic optimality of the N-CUSUM rule across independent sources. An extension to coupled systems is also discussed, addressing various signal strengths and dependencies, with the objective of efficiently detecting minimal change points while controlling for false alarms.

Summary • Asymptotic optimality of the N-CUSUM rule in the case are the same across I • In the case of Brownian motions with const drift MESSAGE: If you want to detect the first instance of onset of a signal, let the sensors do the work! (Lose almost nothing in efficiency) • Extensions to the case different in law across i • What if the noises across sources are correlated.
