So, I would like to start this posting by giving a big "Thank You!!" to the folks at Claremont Graduate University, Ann Bisantz, John Krantz, and Garrett Neske who have made it possible to do so! That has been a great educational gift from each of them to the world wide community.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Having said that, 3 of the 4 ones I ones I know of were written in Java, and are now no longer able to be run due to being blocked by Java security (with no possibility of unblocking them). </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For example, at Claremont Graduate University, the Web Interface for Statistics Education (WISE) website had a really nice demo of the SDT decision space and how it maps onto the ROC space:<br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="http://wise.cgu.edu/portfolio/demo-signal-detection-theory/" class="">http://wise.cgu.edu/portfolio/demo-signal-detection-theory/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">However, that Java applet no longer runs due to being blocked by Java security. So, you get an error message if you try to run it, which says:</div><div class="">"Application Blocked. Click for details"</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I used to be able to add that Java Applet to my trusted Java exceptions in the Security tab of Preferences in my web browser (Safari). However, while I can currently add the WISE website to the exceptions list, I can no longer add that particular page to the list. The folks at WISE are aware of this, and have the following notice about it on their Troubleshooting page:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Enable JavaScript<br class="">You no longer can unblock Java for specific pages. The applets written in JavaScript will work, but the older Java applets will not.</blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Evidently, that demo is an older Java applet that was not written in JavaScript. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">Similarly, I have had the same problem for John Krantz's SDT demos at Hanover College:</div><div class=""><a href="https://psych.hanover.edu/JavaTest/SDT/outcomes.html" class="">https://psych.hanover.edu/JavaTest/SDT/outcomes.html</a><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://psych.hanover.edu/JavaTest/SDT/ROC.html" class="">https://psych.hanover.edu/JavaTest/SDT/ROC.html</a></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Likewise, there used to be a really nice web-based interactive demo of the SDT decision space and ROC space by Ann Bisantz at SUNY Buffalo. However, I can no longer find it on the web (and if it was written as an older Java applet, probably would not run now). </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Garrett Neske has very kindly shared a nice interactive demo of the SDT decision space and ROC curve on the Wolfram (Mathematica) Demonstrations Project, which you can download and run using the Wolfram CDF player. However, unlike the Claremont WISE and Bisantz interactive demos, it does not report d' and c. Having said that, it does give H and F rates out of 1,000 signal present and absent trials each, so one can calculate d' and c with students in class, but it isn't automatic as with the other interactive demos. I guess from an educational standpoint it's a trade-off between a) fluidity of demonstrating the concepts and b) demonstrating how to calculate d' and c. Currently, this is the interactive demo I use in class (hats off to Garrett).<br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">However, out of curiosity, I'm wondering, are there any other web-based demos of the SDT decision space and ROC space that currently work?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best wishes,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Les Loschky</div><div class=""><br class=""></div>-- <br class=""><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">Lester Loschky</div><div class=""><div class="">Professor</div><div class="">Associate Director, Cognitive and Neurobiological Approaches to Plasticity Center<br class="">Department of Psychological Sciences<br class="">471 Bluemont Hall</div><div class=""><div class="">1114 Mid-Campus Dr North</div>Kansas State University<br class="">Manhattan, KS <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica" class="">66506-5302</span> </div></div><div class="">email: <a href="mailto:loschky@ksu.edu" target="_blank" class="">loschky@ksu.edu</a></div><div class="">research page: <a href="https://www.k-state.edu/psych/research/loschkylester.html" target="_blank" class="">https://www.k-state.edu/psych/research/loschkylester.html</a></div><div class="">lab page: <a href="http://www.k-state.edu/psych/vcl/index.html" target="_blank" class="">http://www.k-state.edu/psych/vcl/index.html</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
