What the paper says
While reserve forces are strategically important to deter war in the Republic of Korea (ROK), the training of the reservists is a challenge since they are civilians and difficult to control. In order to tackle the difficulty of predicting the attendance rate of reserve training, this paper proposes a predictive model using Big Data. The current prediction method in the military uses the last year's attendance rate, and one previous study suggests utilising daily weather information without a systematic analysis. This paper aims to test the significance of the predictor variables in the daily attendance rate. Next, to improve the prediction accuracy of the current method, a predictive model with the volume of web search data is proposed. In the case study, statistically significant predictor variables are identified, and the proposed Big Data-based predictive model improves the prediction performance in comparison to the current method with real reserve training data.
