Utilizing nonparametric statistical techniques: evaluating management effectiveness of an alcoholic treatment center.
A system of measures was designed to evaluate the effect of a change in management of an alcoholic treatment center. The measures also were used to indicate the causes for the changes in performance. Because the treatment center's physical plant is to be replaced in the near future, regression techniques, using one of the evaluation measures, were used to predict the size of the replacement facility and when it should become operational. The evaluation was made approximately a year after the management change occurred. Because only a limited amount of data was available, it was necessary to use nonparametric statistical techniques.
