Exposition of a new theory on the measurement of risk

Daniel Bernoulli
- 01 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this theory, the consideration of cases which are all of the same probability is insisted upon as mentioned in this paper, and what remains to be done within the framework of this theory amounts to the enumeration of all alternatives, their breakdown into equi-probable cases and their insertion into corresponding classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (2)
Q1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "Military utility, a proposed concept to support decision-making" ?

A concept called Military Utility is proposed for the study of the use of technology in military operations. The suggested concept is expected to contribute to the development of the science of Military-Technology and to be found useful to actors related to defense. 

Future research is needed to further validate the concept. This will be done addressing relevant decision situations and fitting frameworks of indicators and methods to specific problems and applications.
