On adaptive nonparametric detection systems using dependent samples
M. Kanefsky, John B. Thomas · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 1965
A procedure is obtained for modifying given sampled-data parametric detectors to make them asymptotically nonparametric. Unlike standard nonparametric devices, these detectors do not require the assumption of independent samples but only a knowledge of the input spectral shapes. As examples of this technique, two types of conventional array detectors are modified to produce nonparametric systems.
