Abstract:

Comparison of series of live-fire test results with stochastic simulation model output has been a long-standing problem. The usual approach, the order by probability OP test, allows neither for quantification of typical adjustments made in the implementation of the test nor for sensitivity analysis. A new test is presented here which may be used in conjunction with the OP test to provide these missing features.
