Information about how threshold influence on FAR can be found in IDKit documentation in section "4.8 Far and Threshold".


Since IDKit version 2.70, similarity score normalization and consolidation has changed. Until then the score range was <0,20000> and default score was 12400. The new range is <0, 10000> and default threshold is set to 34 which roughly correspond to FAR = 10^(-5).


Following tables shows the mapping between similarity score and FAR (False Accept Rate), FRR (False Reject Rate) and LLR (Log 10 of Likelihood Ratio).

Since version 3.0.7.1 the range has been adjusted to <0, 1000> with default Similarity threshold of 40, which corresponds roughly to FAR = FAR = 10^(-4). The table below shows values of thresholds recommended to use in identification for different FAR for 

IDKit v5.3.2 (score <0, 1000>, default similarity threshold 40)
