In this paper, fault detection problems for linear uncertain systems are studied. Instead of designing fault detection systems from the viewpoint of increasing the system robustness against unknown inputs and the sensitivity to the faults, an approach is proposed, which allows us to design fault detection systems in such a way that the missed detection rate is minimized for a given false alarm rate.
