Likelihood Function Estimation (LIFE) Model: Utility in the Development of an Enlistment Standard.

Abstract

The prototype LIFE model was used in the development of an alternative Air Force enlistment standard designed to increase the number of qualified accessions with no increase in first term attritions. This enlistment standard was tested operationally in October 1978 by the Air Force Recruiting Service in Project IMAGE. The initial results of Project IMAGE are discussed. The prototype LIFE model was enhanced to improve its data handling capabilities and the maximization algorithm. Using the enhanced model, new prediction equations were developed, and a comparison was made between the IMAGE equation and the new LIFE equation developed using a 1975 data base.
