Abstract

Lanchester (1916) introdujo una serie de ecuaciones o leyes determinísticas para modelar los números de bajas en un combate sin refuerzos. Un inconveniente de estos modelos es que no son útiles ni para la inferencia ni para la predicción, ya que el resultado de una batalla viene determinado por los parámetros del sistema y los tamaños iniciales de cada ejército. Se han propuesto varias versiones estocásticas de las ecuaciones de Lanchester. En este artículo, se resumen algunos de estos modelos y se demuestra cómo utilizar la inferencia bayesiana para estimar los parámetros importantes dada la información a priori que proviene de batallas anteriores, simulaciones, etc. y dada una muestra de datos de un combate. Finalmente, se ilustran los métodos empleados con datos reales y simulados.
