Prediction of Academic Performance of the U.S. Navy Officer Students in the Operations Research/Systems Analysis Curriculum at the Naval Postgraduate School.
Abstract
A study of U.S. Navy officer students who were registered at the Operations Research/System Analyses curriculum at the NPS in spring 1974 was conducted using biographical data, the Strong Vocational Interest Blank and the Graduate Record Examination to develop an equation predicting academic performance of U.S. Navy officer students. Several prediction equations were derived using a development sample and then cross-validated using a hold-out sample; the results were statistically significant. Four of the prediction equations derived were selected to be further analyzed to obtain regression coefficients using the Jackknife procedure. No significant differences were found between the results obtained using the Stepwise Regression procedure and the Jackknife proceudre.
