The Test Science Group facilitates data-driven decision-making by developing, applying and disseminating statistical, psychological and data science methodologies within the DOD and other national security organizations. We assure the appropriate use of statistical and psychological methods in DOD program evaluation. We provide training and outreach to strengthen the defense community’s capacity for leveraging analytical approaches to program evaluation. We conduct research into new statistical approaches that address critical methodological shortfalls in DOD program evaluation. Additionally, we collaborate with external organizations to provide data scientists and applied statisticians with core educational material, interactive tools, and access to experts.
