  abstract = {This paper is an initial investigation into the following
	 question: Can cooperation among sensors in a sensor network improve
	 detection performance in a simple hypothesis test? We analyze a simple
	 cooperative system using the Kullback-Leibler (KL) discrimination distance
	 and a quantity known as the information transfer ratio which is a
	 ratio of KL distances. We discover that, asymptotically, gain over a
	 non-cooperative system depends on the conditional KL distance. We conclude
	 with an illustrative example which demonstrates that cooperation not
	 only significantly improves performance but can also degrade it.},
