A Method of Estimating Plane Vulnerability Based on Damage of Survivors
This Center for Naval Analyses publication reprints a series of memoranda that Abraham Wald wrote while working with the Statistical Research Group at Columbia University during the Second World War, under the title A Method of Estimating Plane Vulnerability Based on Damage of Survivors. The centre released it in 1980 for its historical interest and because the method remained relevant, noting that it had been used in analysing data from the Korean and Vietnam wars.
