Tests for Consistency of Vulnerability Models
Abstract
Small sample live-fire testing has been recently revived in the US army's study of armored vehicle vulnerability. A statistically based procedure is proposed to test for consistency between these live-fire results and the predictions of computer simulation models. This procedure is compared with other candidate statistical procedures in their ability to reject false simulation based estimates of kill probabilities. Keywords: Model consistency, Armored vehicles, Density function, Ballistics, Cumulative distribution function, Hypothesis testing, Tanks (Combat Vehicles).
