“…A ridge adjusted discriminant analysis (Vreuls, et al, 1976) was performed on the final 13 measures. The ridge procedureremoves some of the "over-I 1 t"of a linear discriminant model and makes subsequent applications of tha model more reliable.…”

Due to the complex, dynamic and fast-moving nature of the air combat task, performance assessment during air-to-air combat provides many unique measurement problems. A combined analytical and empirical technical approach was used to develop a candidate measurement structure and algorithm for the measurement of pilot performance during one-versus-one air combat maneuvering. Nearly all of 28 candidate measures were found to discriminate between high and low skilled pilots during free engagements on the Simulator for Air-to-Air Combat. Discriminant analyses provided a measurement algorithm consisting of 13 measures which accounted for 51% of the variance in the performance data and which predicted membership in high or low skill groups with 92% accuracy.

“…Such analyses have been identified as being potentially beneficial to pilot performance measurement when combined with the more standard amplitude-distribution measures like mean, standard deviation and root mean square error (Semple, Cotton & Sullivan, 1981). Indeed, Hills and Eddowes (1975) and Vreuls et al (1975) used spectral analysis to derive measures that were used in multi-variate analysis to discriminate between levels of pilot performance in training.…”

This study reports the development and evaluation of time series based objective pilot performance metrics. From a previously developed array of autocorrelation and Fourier analysis based metrics, five Fourier-based metrics that employed a threshold value were chosen to investigate their effectiveness in separating pilots who, based on instructor pilot (IP) evaluations, had either passed or failed a particular segment of an instrument proficiency check flight. An instrument landing system (ILS) approach was chosen for analysis based on IP feedback of what flight segments were most difficult to evaluate, had greatest sensitivity to overall pilot performance, and greatest criticality to the flying task. Further analysis showed that an optimal value for the criterion value could be found that most effectively separated those pilots that had passed the ILS segment from those who had failed. Criterion setting methods without external criteria using multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis techniques are also discussed.

“…For direct diagnosis presented so that IPs would understand, future work with ACMPM should consider combining TACSPACE with the evolving technology of expert systems representations, by inserting some decision rules to guide the selection of subsequent measurement within appropriate TACSPACE cells. (Vreuls et al, 1976) has established and tested (a) a descriptive structure, or model, for obtaining measurement in man-machine training and (b) measure selection methods based on multivariate statistical models which evaluate the total set of measures taken together and which produce weighting coefficients. These coefficients were then used to combine the measures into a linear equation which maximally discerns the change in performance due to training.…”

“…The normative model, referred to in previous research (Vreuls et al, 1976) went a long way toward equaling the discriminant model while using a very simple premise. A performance criterion was based on the empirical distribution of scores made up of speculatively weighted system measures S (i.e., measures of aircraft position and rates) for fully proficient pilots.…”
