Officer Career Development: Analytic Strategy Recommendations

Abstract

Strategies are recommended for analyzing information from the data bank developed by the Personnel Distribution and Career Development (PDCD) work unit for the purpose of establishing empirically-based decision guides to assist in the design and implementation of career policy and practice in the U.S. Navy. A set of analytic models is proposed wherein each model addresses an important issue concerning the development of empirically-based decision guides for career development. The statistical assumptions underlying each model are reviewed, as are methods that may be used to reasonably satisfy these assumptions. Estimation techniques and procedures for avoiding common errors in estimation also receive attention. Keywords: Analytic strategy, Latent variable, Time series, Cohort analysis, Moderator analysis.
