Predicting Involuntary Separation of Enlisted Personnel.

Abstract

This report contains the results of a study to compare the classification accuracy of the Motivational Attrition Prediction (MAP) method to the classification accuracy of other statistical algorithms capable of predicting involuntary separation within the Air Force enlisted force. The MAP computer program, which was implemented on the UNIVAC 1108 computer system at the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory, was modified to increase its data-handling and computational capabilities and was thoroughly tested. This report includes a description of the computerized statistical algorithms, subsample selection from the first-term airman population, independent and dependent variables, model formulation and analysis, comparison of required computer resources, and related research efforts.
