A measure of weighted directed-divergence based on m probability distributions has been proposed and a probability distribution 'closest' to these m probability distributions is obtained. The closest probability distribution provides a reasonably adequate measure and thus enables one to apply thistechnique in real life situation, viz., assessment of balanced military requirements for a country: consensus ranking, pattern recognition, etc. ER -
