Shadow Prices for Measures of Effectiveness, I: Linear Model
Operations Research · 1993 · Volume 41 · Issue 3
Abstract
This is the first of two papers dealing with the establishment of shadow prices for measures of effectiveness in an optimization-based combat model. In this paper we explain how the requirement for the analysis arose, and we show how to build a simple linear model that produces shadow, prices for kill requirements. When the model is further specialized, these shadow prices become the classical eigenvalue weights familiar from Lanchester theory.
