Continuous estimates of Survival through Eight Years of Service Using FY 1979 Cross-Sectional Data.

Abstract

Survival curves for NPS male recruits were estimated through eight years of service using the FY 1979 cross-sectional data base. Separate analyses were performed for Class A school attendees and non-A school attendees, holding constant the effects of age, educational level, and mental group. Mean survival times (the areas under the survival curves) were calculated for each recruit profile. A cost-benefit analysis was then performed on the mean survival times caluclated over four years of service to determine optimal qualifying scores for enlistment. (Author)
