This article is concerned with the distributed hypothesis testing problem for multiagent networks, where a group of agents aim to learn an optimal hypothesis set via informative observations and event-triggered communication. Within this framework, a new event-triggered distributed hypothesis testing algorithm based on cumulation of historical observations is proposed. Theoretically, it is proven that due to the introduction of cumulation of historical observations, the proposed algorithm can always ensure the convergence whatever the event-triggered parameters are selected. This convergence result is different from that of the existing algorithm without involving historical observations, where the event-triggered parameters should satisfy a specific design condition to ensure the convergence of the algorithm. In addition, an explicit description of the convergence rate of the proposed algorithm is provided. Finally, the effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated through simulation examples. |
