Limiting Exposure to Risk

Members of the armed forces and the agencies that support them are often put in harm’s way, but no one wants to expose troops or staff to unnecessary risks. For that reason, risk assessment is an important responsibility at every level of command.

While some risky situations can be addressed by rules that trigger set responses, other situations are more complex or fluid and require more sophisticated techniques. Predictive analytics from SPSS Inc. provides ways to quantify and evaluate complex risk factors so that any negative impact on personnel, and on a unit’s safety or readiness, can be minimized.

With predictive analytics, your unit or agency can:

SPSS solutions use advanced techniques, including data and text mining, combined with a range of “decision optimization” options that enable analysts to deploy results up and down the chain of command.

In addition, your staff can centralize the management of risk-related models, so that analysts throughout your command know which models to use and can apply them according to approved, standardized practices.

SPSS has extensive experience in helping defense agencies and branches of the military evaluate risk. To learn more about how SPSS solutions can help with this critical task, contact your SPSS sales representative today.
