Abstract:

By an application of Bayes theorem, a method was obtained for determining the optimum apportionment of effort money between the production of operational missiles and missile testing, including component and flight testing. The proper apportionment of money between component testing and flight testing was also described. The apriori distribution required for an application of Bayes theorem was approximated by a committee judgement. Author
