What this part means

the false-alarm cost.

Its job in the formula

FiF_i is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

Let an unchecked latent error at stage i create expected downstream loss LiL_i , a check cost KiK_i , detection probability did_i , and false-alarm cost FiF_i .

The passage around this formula

Checkpoint placement is a value-of-information problem. Let an unchecked latent error at stage i create expected downstream loss LiL_i , a check cost KiK_i , detection probability did_i , and false-alarm cost FiF_i . A check is favorable when, approximately,
