Personnel are the greatest assets within the Coast Guard, and they are the foundation of the mission readiness of the service. There are many concerning human behaviors that affect Coast Guard personnel. Like the other armed services, the Coast Guard uses various personnel surveys as a tool to measure the status of its greatest asset. This capstone project provides analysis of the 2011 Human Resource Behavior Survey taken by Active Duty service members. Visual exploration of the data, logistic regression, and classification trees are methods used to identify the possible relationships between concerning human behaviors and individual survey questions. Additionally, the Goodman-Kruskal Tau measure of association, as well as the Chi Square Test of Independence are used to explore possible relationships among the concerning human behaviors. The methodology employed in this work can be extended and applied to similar survey data sets. The results of this work serve as mathematical insight to inform senior leaders in the policy making process.
