Replacing the Bruceton approximation by maximum likelihood estimation
conference paper
Many researchers consider the statistical estimation of sensitivities of energetic materials to be a confusing topic. This is partly because the NATO Standardisation Agreements (STANAGs) on sensitivity testing advocate for an outdated pen-and-paper approximation rather than the direct computation of maximum likelihood estimates. The present paper aims to assist researchers in transitioning from this approximation to maximum likelihood estimation. In doing so, we clarify some prevalent misconceptions related to sensitivity testing.
