Person-Job Match Preliminary Forecasting Program.
Abstract
A time series analysis program was developed to forecast the quality (i.e., means and standard deviations of aptitude scores) and quantity (i.e., total number of applicants) of the Air Force's future applicant pool. Forecasting future talent of applicants facilitates optimal assignment solution as new recruits enter the applicant pool. The program uses data compiled on subjects who had taken the Airman Qualifying Examination from July 1971 through June 1974. The program computes trend and seasonal components. Applying these components to forecast for each month: (a) means, (b) standard deviations, and (c) total number of applicants. Results are summarized as absolute deviations and squared deviations.
