personnelSelectionUtility: Utility Analysis Methods for Personnel Selection

Implements classical and contemporary utility-analysis methods for personnel selection, organised by criterion scale (classification or continuous/monetary) and selection structure (compensatory or multiple-hurdle). Methods include Taylor-Russell classification (Taylor and Russell, 1939, <doi:10.1037/h0057079>), Brogden-Cronbach-Gleser monetary utility (Brogden, 1949, <doi:10.1111/j.1744-6570.1949.tb01397.x>), Schmidt-Hunter-Pearlman intervention utility (Schmidt and others, 1979, <doi:10.1037/0021-9010.64.6.609>), Sturman comprehensive cascade (Sturman, 2001, <doi:10.1108/eb029072>), Thomas-Owen-Gunst multivariate classification (Thomas and others, 1977, <doi:10.3102/10769986002001055>), compensatory versus multiple-hurdle simulation (Ock and Oswald, 2018, <doi:10.1027/1866-5888/a000205>), AUC-to-effect-size conversions (Salgado, 2018, <doi:10.5093/ejpalc2018a5>), Pareto frontiers for validity-diversity trade-offs, and Monte Carlo uncertainty propagation.
