Three algorithms (the Charge Comparison Method, n-γ Model Analysis and the Centroid Algorithm) have been revised to improve their accuracy and broaden the scope of applications to real-time digital n-γ discrimination. To evaluate the feasibility of the revised algorithms, a comparison between the improved and original versions of each is presented. To select an optimal real-time discrimination algorithm from these six algorithms (improved and original), the figure-of-merit (FOM), Peak-Threshold Ratio (PTR), Error Probability (EP) and Simulation Time (ST) for each were calculated to obtain a quantitatively comprehensive assessment of their performance. The results demonstrate that the improved algorithms have a higher accuracy, with an average improvement of 10% in FOM, 95% in PTR and 25% in EP, but all the STs are increased. Finally, the Adjustable Centroid Algorithm (ACA) is selected as the optimal algorithm for real-time digital n-γ discrimination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
