Overview:
This project examines the feasibility of measuring Soldier performance with information contained in the Army’s Person-Event Data Environment (PDE) data repository by analyzing existing performance metrics. This is a necessary first step towards modeling of relationships between social characteristic variables and performance outcome. To facilitate this, the team has collected performance scales from a variety of sources to evaluate using different text analysis techniques.
