This study assessed the degree of the relationship between a computerized method and a manual method of ranking AE Rating tasks for commonality in terms of (1) the agreement between manual and computer rankings of identical tasks, and (2) the comparative costs of two similar projects, one utilizing a computer, and the other utilizing the manual process. / Data were subjected to the Kendall Coefficient of Concordance and to the Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient statistical tests; ten and eleven of the twelve sets of data achieved statistical significance at or above the .05 level for the two tests, respectively. In terms of practical significance, the two methods produced similar, statistically significant results. / A cost analysis resulted in the recommendation that the computerized method be selected for implementation in the Navy. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-10, Section: A, page: 4317. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
