Prediction of Target Casualties from Minefield Penetration Using Markov Processes.
Abstract
The theory of Markov processes, a branch of probability theory, is used in this publication for the prediction of target casualties resulting from minefield penetration by unfriendly forces. The mathematical models an computer programming in this report are valid for a wide range of applications. The computer programs in this publication calculate the probability density function for the number of targets surviving a breach attempt; also the mean number of surviving targets is calculated. For specialized applications these programs can be used to the greatest advantage by altering them slightly to yield the type of output needed. (Author)
