Domain-specific¶
- Monty Hall problem
- During World War II, Abraham Wald and the Statistical Research Group analysed the distribution of bullet holes on aircraft returning from combat
This sourceWald's wartime memoranda, which estimate vulnerability from the hit counts of planes that returned from combat — the survivorship-filtered sample itself; they tabulate how many hits a returning plane took, not where on the airframe the holes fell.

Mechanisms¶
- Shown-vs-Unshown Audit
- It is the standard guard against survivorship bias, the error of reading a story off the survivors
This sourceInfers aircraft vulnerability from returning-plane damage while accounting for the unknown hit distribution among planes that did not return.
