Abstract
The methods and criteria of mathematical statistics provide a basis for obtaining general optimal decision rules (DRs) for alarm signal generation when substance concentrations reach abnormal levels. Examples are given of DRs for various types of relationships between sensor output current (voltage) and time during the alarm signal generation interval, including polynomial and exponential functions. Relations are obtained for DR probability characteristics. It is shown that the statistics used for alarm signal generation can simultaneously be employed for optimal and quasioptimal concentration measurement.
