Determining Continuation Rates for Pilots from the Officer Master File

Abstract

This research memorandum examines how the definition of the continuation rate for Naval officers is implemented using data from the Officer Master File. Continuation rates are measured for a cohort of officers defined by their designator and year group. Several conceptual and data problems arise because the simple definition of the continuation rate does not account for various inflows and outflows for specific cohorts. The effect of including or excluding various subgroups within a cohort is considered using pilots from year groups 73 through 78 for the period from 1980 through 1986. Keywords: Attrition, Naval personnel, Officer personnel, Personnel retention, Pilots, Statistical analysis, Statistical data.
