.... The significance of these variables is determined via an empirical analysis using experimental designs and regression analyses. Findings This research quantifies the relative importance of several operational factors related to basing tanker aircraft. Empirical tests and robust sensitivity analyses using real...

... timelines for notional, but realistic, problem variables. The authors study the relative importance of these variables using experimental designs, regressions, correlations and chi-square tests of the empirical results. Findings The research specifies the conditions during which ships should be light...

... and subsequently focuses on the largest and fastest growing category: not mission capable maintenance unscheduled (NMCMU). Then, utilization of aircraft platforms is examined to determine the readiness benefits of increasing available hours. Design/methodology/approach Stepwise regression is conducted...

..., stepwise regression is used to predict median O&S costs per total active inventory (CPTAI) and identify influential variables. Findings Stability results vary by category but generally are found to occur approximately five years from initial operating capability. The regression model explains 89.01...
