A Detection Error Tradeoff graph is a graphical plot of error rates for binary classification systems, plotting false reject rate vs. false accept rate.[1] The x- and y-axes are scaled non-linearly by their Normal Deviates, yielding tradeoff curves that are more linear than ROC curves, and spend most of the image area highlighting the differences of importance in the critical operating region.
