This thesis analyzes the quantitative and qualitative criteria of workoad factors that are used in determining manpower requirements. Three qualitative characteristics were recommended. First, the workload factor must have a causal relationship with the manpower requirement. Second, the factor should be predictable, i.e., it should be a good predictor of manpower and future values of the factor should be easily and economically obtained. And, finally, dummy variables should be used so that more causal factors can be employed in the model. Four quantitative criteria were identified. First, the standard error of the estimate as a percent of the dependent mean is the best estimate as to the precision of the model when used in conjunction with the coefficient of determination. Second, multivariate analysis will reduce stochastic error and increase the predictive properties of the model. Third, when the number of variables precludes examination of all possible regressions, a stepwise regression program with low acceptance limits should be used. And finally, in analyzing the effects of high collinearity, varables should not be eliminated from the model for failure of the 't' -test, if the variable is felt to have a causal relationship and it reduces the error sum of the squares.

"Leading the way describes how the men and women of Air Force civil engineering have provided the basing that enabled the Air Force to fly, fight, and win. This book depicts how engineers built hundreds of bases during World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. At the same time, these engineers operated and maintained a global network of enduring, peacetime bases. It describes the engineers' role in special projects such as the ballistic missile program, the Arctic early warning sites, and construction of the U.S. Air Force Academy. Using hundreds of sources, this detailed narrative tells the story of how civil engineers have been organized, trained, equipped, and employed for more than 100 years. From the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of Afghanistan, civil engineers have forged an unmatched record of success and built a solid foundation for today's Air Force."--Back cover.
