Abstract:

A method for selecting the most accurate lie detection method from a group of methods, the method includes the steps of: (a) collecting the results from different methods of conducting lie detection tests; (b) plotting the results on a polar graph; c) computing the “random chance” point on the graph for each method's results; (d) fitting a quadratic curve to the defined points for each method; (e) computing the area beneath each method's curve; (f) mapping the area to a log-base-2 score; and (g) choosing as the most accurate method the method with a higher log-base-2 score.

Abstract:

A method for improving the construction of a polygraph examiner's question list during a computerized polygraph exam includes the following steps: a) before the polygraph exam, building a first library of different sequences of question types, and building a second library of different question types; b) organizing the first and second libraries; c) combining the different question types into sets of categories; d) selecting a sequence of question types from the first library, and selecting a first category of question types; e) reviewing a range of questions within the first category; f) selecting and adding some of the questions within the first category to the selected sequence of question types; g) during the polygraph exam, selecting a second category; h) repeating steps (e) and (f) for the second category; and i) repeating steps (g) and (h) until the polygraph examiner's question list is complete.
