Book Description
This is the first single resource on statistical methods for estimation and comparison of the performance of biometric authentication systems. The book focuses on six common performance metrics: for each metric, statistical methods are derived for a single system that incorporates confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, sample size calculations, power calculations and prediction intervals. These methods are also extended to allow for the statistical comparison and evaluation of multiple systems for both independent and paired data.

Age Factors in Biometric Processing (Free PDF Download)

Book Description
As biometric-based identification and identity authentication becomes increasingly widespread in their deployment, it becomes important to consider issues relating to reliability, usability and inclusion. Factors which are particularly important in this context are the relationship between the nature of the measurements extracted from a particular biometric modality, the age of the sample donor, and the effect which age has on physiological and behavioral characteristics invoked in a biometric transaction. "Age Factors in Biometric Processing" provides an overview of this topic for the rapidly expanding community of stakeholders in biometrics-based identification solutions in academia, industry and government.

Table of Contents
review of ageing and biometrics
social factors in ageing and their relevance to biometrics
using age to enhance performance in biometrics
