Selected Statistical Techniques Applicable to ASW Exercise Design and Analysis
Abstract
This report contains: (1) a method for calculating symmetric confidence intervals for search rate and mean time-to-detection for the active and passive area search missions; (2) a method for calculating approximate confidence intervals on cumulative detection probability as a function of range for the general case containing turn-arounds (CPAs) and late-starters; (3) the application (and modification) of various techniques for calculating approximate confidence intervals on Mission Measures of Effectiveness that are in the form of products of proportions; and (4) a discussion of the potential bias due to late-starters in the development of cumulative detection probability as a function of range. Recommendations for eliminating (or at least minimizing) this bias are included in this report.
