A PROBABILISTIC FORMULATION OF MURPHY DYNAMICS AS APPLIED TO THE ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONAL RESEARCH PROBLEMS
Published Date: January 1, 1979
The author contends that the formulation of Murphy's Law as presently accepted in the open literature is useful only as a general statement of life patterns, but meaningless to the application of operational research problems. A mathematical formulation is presented based on a probabilistic model of operational realizations. Numerous examples of direct application are cited.
