An application of mathematical programming concepts to behavioural research design.
More and more frequently, human factors specialists are being asked to design behavioural research and evaluation techniques that will be applied many times to many different systems, and not always by behavioural scientists. One way to meet the repeatability requirement is to base evaluation technique design on the concepts of mathematical optimisation (eg, linear programming). This paper presents a general model for the application of mathematical programming concepts to behavioural research design, and an example of the use of this approach to design a simulator certification programme for the Strategic Air Command (SAC).
