The Fire Detector Learns Its Alarm Threshold
Conformal calibration met 10, 5 and 1 percent miss-rate targets across two compact detectors.
Summary
Conformal calibration met 10, 5 and 1 percent miss-rate targets across two compact detectors.
A fixed 0.5 confidence threshold produced miss rates of 17.3 and 8.4 percent on the same fire-and-smoke set. Held-out calibration met all three target miss rates; at the 5 percent target, false alarms stayed between 1.2 and 3.0 percent. Smoke-only cases remained a weakness.
Why it matters
