DCASPRO Use of the Basket Method

Abstract

The basket method, a finite sampling technique, developed to reduce proposal backlogs, is examined for application in the DCASPRO environment. The basket method is discussed and the differences and similarities of the DCASPRO/ NAVPRO environment are considered. A survey of DCASPROs is utilized to ascertain the extent to which they meet certain preconditions for application of the 'basket method'. A simulation using data from DCASPRO Northern Ordnance is presented to provide an example of possible application of the method. The author concludes that the basket method may be a useful tool for DCASPROs that satisfy the required preconditions.
