V1 Bomb Strikes South of London World War II
The data: The infected area has been divided into 576 “sites”, each of which is a ½ x ½ km. square. Then the number of bombs in each site was counted. R. D. Clarke: An application of the Poisson distribution, Journal of the Institute of Actuaries, v 72 (1946), p. 48.
Eight sites had four or more strikes and 229 went unhit. Were there particular targets?
A predictive model: What if we simply considered randomly placing 537 bombs into 576 sites?
