Such observations provide data that are often both complex and "oft" -- i.e., qualitative, subjective, fuzzy, or ambiguous -- and also contradictory or even deceptive. Analysts face the challenge of heterogeneous information fusion -- that is, combining such data to form a realistic assessment of threat. This report presents research on various heterogeneous information fusion methods and describes a research prototype system for fusing uncertainty-sensitive heterogeneous information. The context is counterterrorism, for both military and civilian applications, but the ideas are also applicable in intelligence and law enforcement."--[back cover]. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x Statistical methods. $x Statistical methods. 650 0 $a Criminal behavior, Prediction of $x Statistical methods. 700 1 $a Perry, Walt L., $e author. 700 1 $a Hollywood, John S., $d 1973- $e author. 700 1 $a Manheim, David, $e author. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation. $b National Security Research Division. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation, $e issuing body. 710 1 $a United States. $b Office of Naval Research, $e sponsoring body. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826045957.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=13911B706B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
