Abstract

The probability of attaining a goal structure in a partially stochastic manpower model is discussed in relation to the position of the structure described in Euclidean space. It is found that, within the regions of structures attainable with non-zero probability, the probabilities decrease on lines emanating from the structure attainable with probability 1.
