In signal detection a liberal criterion will produce points :

  • A.Below no bias line
  • B.Near no bias line
  • C.Above no bias line
  • D.Far below no bias line

Answer: C

A liberal criterion produces points above the no bias line.

On an ROC graph, hit rate is plotted against false-alarm rate. The 'no bias' line is the minor diagonal, along which the observer is neither inclined to say 'yes' nor 'no'. A liberal observer says 'yes' readily, which raises both hits and false alarms and moves the point towards the upper right of the graph, above that line. A conservative observer's points fall below it, towards the lower left.

Points near the line indicate an unbiased criterion, and points below or far below it indicate a conservative one.
