Variability of Measures of Weapons Effectiveness. Volume 6. Estimation of the Weapons Parameters and Their Variances in the Carleton Damage Function

Abstract

For the three-parameter Carleton damage function, the techniques of linear and non-linear regression are used to estimate the three parameters as well as their variance - covariance matrix. The computational aspect of the estimation is discussed, including language, program and subroutine. 13 weapon/target situations, numerical results are provided.
