Selecting a signaling site and putting your signal in a suitable location is critical. a signaling site is defined as any site, based on your situation that enhances signaling efforts and the likelihood for the signal to be detected by friendly forces. what is a signaling site criterion?

The role of the criterion: Perhaps the simplest strategy that the doctor can adopt is to pick a criterion location along the internal response axis. Whenever the internal response is greater than this criterion they respond "yes". Whenever the internal response is less than this criterion they respond "no".

An example criterion is indicated by the vertical lines in Figure 2. The criterion line divides the graph into four sections that correspond to: hits, misses, false alarms, and correct rejections. On both hits and false alarms, the internal response is greater than the criterion, because the doctor is responding "yes''. Hits correspond to signal-plus-noise trials when the internal response is greater than criterion, as indicated in the figure. False alarms correspond to noise-alone trials when the internal response is greater than criterion, as indicated in the figure.
