Abstract. The military is interested in predicting which individuals will successfully complete a rigorous selection process. Leveraging thousands of variables collected across many domains, including behavior, cognition, wearable sensors, metabolomics, miRNA and genetic data, the goal is to identify a small subset of these variables that are most diagnostic and accurately predict the individuals who will perform best in the selection process. Our team has developed a rigorous framework for carrying out these analyses and part of the talk will explain this methodology. Our analytical framework has achieved important successes to date; but we want to continue to build on these successes by building our team and growing our collaboration.
