Performance measures are examined for a detector-estimator based on an
equal-likelihood signal probability model [N. R. Davis and R. Pitre,
978--992 and 993--1005 (1995)]. With limited integration time and SNR,
detection and parameter estimation analysis based solely on estimation of
cumulants is incomplete. Conventional performance measures like pfa and
uncertainty measures such as cost uncertainty and decision information loss are
examined as a function of integration time and estimation resolution. [Work
