• A catch-all phrase for describing how well a biometric system performs. The actual statistic for performance will vary by task (verification, open-set identification (watchlist), and closed-set identification). See www.biometricscatalog.org/biometrics/biometrics_101.pdf for further explanation. See also d prime, detection error trade-off (DET), detect and identification rate, equal error rate, false acceptance rate (FAR), false alarm rate (FAR), false match rate, false non-match rate, false reject rate, identification rate, performance, verification rate.
