Group Regression

This paper considers the application of Bayesian techniques for simultaneous estimation to the specification of regression weights for selection tests used in various technical training courses in the Marine Corps. Results of a method for m-group regression developed by Molenaar and Lewis (1979) suggest that common weights for training courses belonging to certain general categories are justified in many cases. However, such commonality of regression weights does not appear to hold for all courses in these categories—weights for some training courses remain distinct even after the application of the simultaneous estimation procedure. Thus, a hypothesis of complete generalization of the predictor-criterion relationships across training courses in a given category would only be retained for a carefully selected subset of courses and not for all groups included in the analysis.

Some techniques for the evaluation of technical training courses and students.

Relative Productivity

Orientation: The article dealt with the estimation, computation and interpretation of the relative productivity contributions of different age-skill categories. Research purpose: The aim of the article was to estimate and compute, (1) relative productivity contributions and (2) relative productivity contribution–employee remuneration cost levels for different age-skill categories.Motivation for the study: The research was deemed necessary given the current debate on relative productivity levels and possible changes to the retirement age in the South African labour market. No real research in this regard has been published regarding the South African labour market situation.Research design, approach and method: A less restrictive production function was used, allowing for the simultaneous estimation and final computation of relative labour contribution levels of different age-skill categories.Main findings: The lower-skilled segment produced significantly smaller productivity contributions and the relative productivity contribution–employee remuneration cost ratios of the 55 years and older age group were superior in the higher-skilled segment but, at the same time, the lowest in the lower-skilled segment.Practical/managerial implications: It is recommended that human resource practitioners (given the perceived rigidity of labour legislation) implement and maintain structures that promote higher productivity levels for all age-skill categories in the workplace.Contribution/value-add: An estimation procedure, which can be applied to the measurement of the relative productivity contribution of different age-skill categories, has been established.

And Training

Education and training is an obligation for a civil servant (PNS) to develop their performance capabilities in the agency they work for. There are several training courses that civil servants can participate in, such as leadership, functional training, and technical training. However, not all employees can participate in the training, because there are special requirements in order to participate in the training. The purpose of this study is to help provide decision recommendations for employees who will conduct training. The method used for the calculation of the DSS is Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Where this decision support model will describe a multi-factor or multi-criteria complex problem into a hierarchy. Then each employee is given the weight of his own assessment of the employee who will conduct the training. Meanwhile, the system development method used is a prototype. The results of this study are in the form of a decision support system, which can facilitate the decision-making process, and can provide recommendations regarding employees who will become training participants.

A systematic analytical procedure for simultaneous estimation of the fundamental frequency, the amplitudes and phases of harmonic waves was proposed in this paper. In order to reduce complexity in the calculation of unknown parameters, a completely new reduced analytical expression is derived, which enabled fast and precise estimation with a small numerical error. Individual sinusoidal components stand out from the input complex-harmonic signal with the filter with a finite-impulse response (FIR) comb filters. The algorithm that is proposed in the operation is based on the application of partial derivate of the processed and filtered input signal, after which it is performed weighted estimation procedure to better estimate the values size of the fundamental frequency, amplitude and the multi-sinusoid signal phase. The proposed algorithm can be used in the signal reconstruction and estimation procedures, spectral processing, in procedures for the identification of the system that is observed, as well as other important signal processing areas. Through the simulation check, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was assessed, which confirmed its high performance.
