Evaluation of a proposed modified log-gamma confidence bound method for fleet missile system reliability
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-09)
A statistical method is evaluated to determine its accuracy for estimating lower confidence bounds on system reliability of a mixture of missile configurations using component data. Monte Carlo simulations are used to ...
An examination of two formal school initial specialized training pipelines with respect to retention
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-03)
This thesis examines two formal school initial specialized training pipelines in order to determine if the present distribution of personnel in these pipelines could be modified to yield a higher retention rate. Over 80% ...
An analysis and forecast of the supply of first term enlistees to the United States Marine Corps
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-03)
Two distinct analytical techniques were used to develop models in order to forecast monthly first term regular enlistments in the United States Marine Corps. A multiple regression model was derived based on its compatibility ...
Improved confidence intervals for the ratio of the variances and standard deviations from two normal populations.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-12)
Shortest confidence intervals for the ration of two variances of normal populations are found as superior alternatives to the widely used equal tail confidence intervals. Extensive tables of high precision are presented ...
A procedure to facilitate testing of a two-sided composite null hypothesis about the mean of a normally distributed random variable
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-09)
A procedure was developed to aid in the testing of a two-sided composite null hypothesis about the mean of a normally distributed random variable for situations where either the population variance is known or unknown. ...
An examination of the command, control and communications system of a U.S. Marine Corps amphibious assault wave
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-06)
This thesis examines the Command, Control and Communications procedures of an amphibious assault wave. The examination is performed by the presentation of a model of the communications network of a wave. Computer simulation ...
Simulation of position errors when using selected Army map products
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1977-12)
A simulation approach is given to estimating the distribution of navigational errors observed during a test of four Army map products, conducted by the US Army Combat Development Experimentation Command. Exponential and ...
Investigation of goaling models for Navy recruiting
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1977-03)
This study reviews previous works which investigated goaling models for the Navy's recruiting effort. Nine models were examined for their goaling potential, and five were selected for further analysis. The results of the ...
Physiological correlates of vigilance performance
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1977-03)
This research is an investigation of the relationships between several physiological measures and vigilance performance. Heart rate and sinus arrhythmia were measured throughout a 40-minute vigilance task for each of 15 ...
An analysis of the Venezuelan DoD budget process.
(1977)
This thesis represents an attempt to characterize
the bugetary process in the Venezuelan DoD. Its legal
basis are analyzed and its structural aspects are
investigated. The PP3S in the U.S.A. DoD and the
structural ...
