A Response Surface Approach to the Combat Rescue and Special Operations Simulation Model

Abstract

This thesis proposes a methodology for producing response surface metamodels to enhance the force sizing capability at Military Airlift Command. Output generated by the Combat Rescue and Special Operations Forces simulation model was used to develop the sets of predictive response equations. The methodology produced statistically good predictive metamodels using a Box and Behnken fractional factorial. Multivariate techniques were used to reduce the dimensionality of the responses modeled by the simulation model to further enhance the decision making process on force sizing issues. Keywords: Computerized simulation, Computer applications, Computer programs.
