Now we have the formula `s = (1/2) (log(H/(1-H)) - log(F/(1-F)))`
Using the result `loga - logb = log(a/b)`
we have that ` ` `s = (1/2) log((H "/" 1-H)/(F "/" 1-F))`
` ` Pair 1 : (H, F) = (0.8,0.2)
H/1-H = 0.8/0.2 = 4
F/1-F = 0.2/0.8 = 1/4
So (H/1-H)/(F/1-F) = 4/(1/4) = 16
s = 1/2 * log_10(16) = 1/2*1.20412 = 0.602 answer
Pair 2: (H, F) = (0.8,0.6)
H/1-H = 0.8/0.2 = 4 same as before
F/1-F = 0.6/0.4 = 3/2
So (H/1-H)/(F/1-F) = 4/(3/2) = 8/3
s = 1/2*log_10(8/3) = 1/2* 0.42597 = 0.213 answer
Pair 3: (H,F) = (0.8,0.9)
H/1-H = 0.8/0.2 = 4 same as before
F/1-F = 0.9/0.1 = 9
So (H/1-H)/(F/1-F) = 4/9
s = 1/2*log_10(4/9) = 1/2*(-0.35218) = -0.176 answer
The hit rate stays the same in all 3 pairs, but the false alarm rate increases leading to increasing s. When the false alarm rate is higher than the hit rate, s is negative.
