  • We study set-valued decision rules in which performance is defined by the inclusion of the top-$p$ hypotheses, rather than only the single best or true hypothesis. This criterion is motivated by sensor selection for target tracking, where inexpensive measurements are used to identify a list of sensor nodes that are likely to be closest to a target. We analyze the performance of top-$p$ versus top-$1$ selection under sequential hypothesis testing, propose a geometry-aware sensor selection algorithm, and validate the approach using real testbed data.
