Open AccessGhosts in the data: false detections in VEMCO pulse position modulation acoustic telemetry monitoring equipment
False-positive data (better known as “false detections”) in VEMCO VR2 acoustic telemetry monitoring studies that use pulse position modulation coding can cause biased or erroneous outcomes in data analysis. To...
