Matrix Presentations of Outputs from Dyna-METRIC Type Models. Volume 1
Abstract
This report describes a comprehensive way of looking at and interpreting the outputs of a Dyna-METRIC type model. Considerable attention is given to both technical and calculational considerations. The report is intended primarily for analysts who are already broadly familiar with the underlying theory and computational approach or for PACAF staff members who have occasion to use the model outputs. This focus may make it difficult for a nontechnical reader to get through. Nevertheless, for those who want to use this report as a primer on how to read and understand the model results contained in the matrices, it will suffice. The reader may ignore the technical portions and concentrate just on the ones that describe the outputs and their interpretation, which is easy to do. The calculational framework is only briefly described in the main body of the report, and the more technical portions are relegated to appendices. The input and output data are bound separately for ease of reference so they can be looked at alongside the descriptive text. For those already familiar with Dyna-METRIC concepts, the way to read the matrices will be almost obvious from their layout. The data, however, have been chosen to illustrate many not-so-obvious points and the text brings these out. Those insights are important to developing an understanding or ability to interpret the model outputs. This report is one of a series related to calculating and interpreting the impact of the availability and management of spare parts in tactical fighter squadrons.
