Recursive Calculation Model for a Special Multivariate Normal Probability of First-Order Stationary Sequence

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1287/ijoc.2018.0852

The consecutive hit probability of antiaircraft artillery corresponds to the multivariate normal probability distribution. The computational complexity depends on the length of the firing error sequence (i.e., the integral dimension may exceed 100). The traditional numerical integration and the Monte Carlo method are too slow for this calculation. This paper established the state equation of the firing error sequence, which was the bridge between the multivariate normal probability distribution and stochastic process theory. The recursive calculation model was given after the rigorous derivation process. The accuracy and computational complexity of the model were quantified by theoretical analysis and expressed intuitively by examples. The model shows the upper bound for the absolute error, and the computational efficiency is significantly improved.
