An Application of Discriminant Analysis to the Problem of Assigning Variable Reenlistment Bonuses

In the past several years much attention has been given to the impact of monetary incentives on enlistments and reenlistments.

In this paper discriminant analysis is applied in order to determine the criteria used by the Navy in assigning Variable Reenlistment Bonuses. Several suggestions are offered for improving the assignment of this monetary incentive.
