Further Research on the Ip Statistic

Abstract

Computer simulations were used to determine the influence of projectile impact point assessment errors on the validity of the computation of the index of proximity statistic. The results of the study showed that measurement errors of the magnitude currently experienced in the field will not affect the validity of the computation. Subsequent simulations were used to demonstrate the response of the statistic to several types of impact patterns.
