 | This paper describes a research and development effort to automate and improve data collection associated with USAF occupational surveys. Specifically the effort involves: (a) research and development of a PC-based procedure for self-administration of occupational surveys as a replacement for the existing paper-and-pencil process, (b) research and development of automated scaling procedures of optimal validity and reliability for obtaining measures of time spent on job-related tasks, (c) incorporation of feedback ... |

|
 | This paper is an abridged documentation source for the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL) mathematical and statistical software library for use by Air Force personnel researchers. It provides a single reference which researchers may quickly scan to identify mathematical or statistical computer software that is currently operational and available for use on the AFHRL Sperry 1100/81 computer system. The paper is comprised of four chapters with the first chapter ... |

|
| Regression analysis programs are commonly used to develop prediction systems for Air Force personnel research, e.g., a system for accurately predicting future job performance of enlisted individuals based on information obtained during their Air Force careers. This information might include such predictor variables as aptitude or ability test scores, biographical data, and physical attributes. Requirements for the development of such prediction systems within the technical programs of the Air Force ... |

|
| Authors:
Walter G. Albert; AIR FORCE HUMAN RESOURCES LAB BROOKS AFB TX
|
| This report contains the results of a study to compare the classification accuracy and computer resource requirements of the Motivational Attrition Prediction (MAP) computerized algorithm with the classification accuracy and computer resource requirements of other computerized statistical algorithms capable of predicting graduation from Technical Training, Basic Military Training, and Undergraduate Pilot Training. It includes descriptions of the sampled populations, sample selection from each population, independent and dependent variables, comparison of ... |

| IAPG: An Item Analysis Program for Questionnaire-Type Test Instruments. |
AUG 1980 |
|
| Authors:
Walter G. Albert; Larry K. Whitehead; AIR FORCE HUMAN RESOURCES LAB BROOKS AFB TX
|
| IAPG (Item Analysis Program, General) is a versatile series of item analysis computer programs. The input consists of responses to items for which the correctness or incorrectness of a particular alternative is not the same for all respondents. The comprehensive statistical/mathematical methodology that comprises IAPG enables the user to optimize the composite validity of a test instrument subject to certain restrictions delineated in this report and perform complex item analysis ... |

| Predicting Involuntary Separation of Enlisted Personnel. |
JAN 1980 |
|
| Authors:
Walter G. Albert; AIR FORCE HUMAN RESOURCES LAB BROOKS AFB TX
|
| This report contains the results of a study to compare the classification accuracy of the Motivational Attrition Prediction (MAP) method to the classification accuracy of other statistical algorithms capable of predicting involuntary separation within the Air Force enlisted force. The MAP computer program, which was implemented on the UNIVAC 1108 computer system at the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory, was modified to increase its data-handling and computational capabilities and was ... |

| Development of a Senior NCO Promotion System. |
JUL 1976 |
|
| Authors:
Janos B. Koplyay; Walter G. Albert; Doris E. Black; AIR FORCE HUMAN RESOURCES LAB BROOKS AFB TEX
|
| This report contains the results of a policy capturing study which convened two experimental promotion boards to develop the weighting systems for a proposed senior noncommissioned officer (NCO) promotion system. The proposed promotion system combines the board score derived from the current E-8/E-9 selection board method with the score on a proposed weighted factors composite to arrive at a senior NCO's total promotion score. The development of two weighting systems ... |
