A statistical model for determining Naval Academy inputs and
resultant Naval Officer outputs has been developed. Data pertaining
to Naval Academy classes for the past thirty years was collected and
studied. The basic model considered each graduate sampled as a
BERNOULLI Trial. By regression analysis, best estimators for the
parameters (proportions of success) for each population of graduates
in different grades, were determined. Probabilities were then
calculated for a randomly selected graduate, commissioned ENSIGN,
to serve in successive grades, with a specified confidence. An
INPUT/OUTPUT formula was derived. This paper will provide current
personnel planners with accurate officer planning requirements.
The author wishes to express his appreciation for the thoroughly
outstanding assistance and encouragement given him by Professor
W. M. Woods of the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School.
