The purpose of this thesis is to examine and model the Army Reserve Officer Training
Corps (ROTC) commissioning process in terms of several possible explanatory variables.
Each of the variables, which included unemployment rate, average yearly college tuition,
ROTC enrollment by class, advertising budget, scholarship program and propensity towards
military service, were analyzed for trends in the data with respect to the dependent
variable, the number of second lieutenants commissioned in a year. Four regression
models were fitted to numerous combinations of the explanatory variables and the dependent
variable. Three variables were found to be significant and possess the potential
to predict the number of second lieutenants commissioned each year within the range
of the data used for modeling.

Comparison of the Worst and Best Sum-of-Products Expressions for Multiple-Valued Functions
Sasao, Tsutomu; Butler, Jon T. (1997-05);Because most practical logic design algorithms produce irredundant sum-of-products (ISOP) expressions, the understanding of ISOPs is crucial. We show a class of functions for which Morreale-Minato's ISOP generation algorithm ... -
