Claim 13:
14. A computer-implemented method for constructing a reduced statistical model for a given target captured by an automotive radar, comprising:
identifying, by a computer program executed by a computer processor, one or more attributes for the given target;
selecting, by the computer program executed by a computer processor, a set of values for one or more radar parameters;
determining, by an electromagnetic field solver executed by the computer processor, a plurality of radar cross-section values for the given target using the initial set of values while randomly varying values for the one or more target attributes; and
constructing, by the computer program executed by a computer processor, parametric statistical model for the given target from the plurality of radar cross-section values, where the parametric statistical model is further defined by a mean of an exponential distribution function of the plurality of radar cross-section values and a standard deviation of the exponential distribution function of the plurality of radar cross-section values.
