Detection Theory: A User's Guide is a comprehensive introduction to one of the most essential tools for analyzing data where choices must be made and performance is not flawless. In such scenarios, detection theory empowers us to transform subjective experiences, such as perceptions and memories, into quantitative data that can be analyzed and modeled.

For beginners, the first three chapters delve into measuring detection and discrimination, evaluating decision criteria, and the usefulness of receiver operating characteristics. Subsequently, the book explores more advanced research paradigms, including:

Complete tools for application, encompassing flowcharts, tables, and software;

Student-friendly language;

Comprehensive coverage of the content area, encompassing both one-dimensional and multidimensional models;

Integrated treatment of threshold and nonparametric approaches;

An organized, tutorial-level introduction to multidimensional detection theory;

Popular discrimination paradigms presented as applications of multidimensional detection theory.

This modern summary of signal detection theory serves as a self-contained reference work for users, as well as a readable text for graduate students and researchers seeking to learn the material either in courses or through independent study.

By employing detection theory, we gain valuable insights into human decision-making processes and can improve our ability to make accurate judgments in various domains, from psychology to medicine to finance.
