20150113645	SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING POINT AND BOX ENUMERATION FOR INTERVAL BAYESIAN DETECTION - When using intrusion detection systems, security specialists are concerned with false positive rates and true positive rates. False positives are when an alert is raised, but no actual intrusion occurs. True positives are when an alert is raised for an actual intrusion. Ideally, true positive rate is 1 and false positive rate is zero, but such a situation is impossible in the real world. So one must balance a true positive rate and a false positive rate to produce the best result at the best price. One can simplify the choice of detection sets by, instead of determining each possible operating point of the information detection system, by only choosing operating points that are not dominated by other operating points.	04-23-2015
