H. P. Edmundson

ResearchPublished 1956

A discussion of a model concerned with the distribution of weapon radial error and an illustration of its statistical application in war gaming. The density function and cumulative distribution function of the radial error are derived and graphed for one, two, and three dimensions. For each of these cases, formulas are given for the expectation, standard deviation, and median of the radial error
