How to Speed Up Your Regression Model.

Abstract

Air Force personnel managers must be able to accurately forecast the force size. This need is explicit in meeting statutory budget limitations. Further, officer losses drive accessions, training, and promotion; thus the need for accuracy in forecasting losses cannot be over-emphasized. To accomplish this objective, loss rates have been generated using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) stepwise regression run on what are locally dubbed the 'binary files'. The purpose of this paper is to report a front-end processor to OLS which has reduced computer run time by 85 percent for this organization. (Author)
