TLDR
A simple framework using different variables is proposed which helps in predicting student’s academic success using two different algorithms: Decision Trees and Bayesian Network.Abstract:
In this data world, where users spawn their digital footprint and generate a huge amount of unstructured data continuously with each activity, data mining techniques help in discovering interesting patterns, establishing relationships and unravel the problems through analysis, in different aspects of life. Educational data mining is a multidisciplinary research area, in which data from various educational organizations, is explored and made operational, for various facets concerned with the students, like predicting academic performance, analyse the learning pattern, solving e-learning issues, predict employability, visualize the critical courses affecting performance, investigate the reasons for student’s failure or drop out and thus make data-driven decisions to improve the institutions standards. This paper provides a brief overview of Data Mining tools and techniques, and its encroachment in the educational domain. It also proposes a simple framework using different variables which helps in predicting student’s academic success using two different algorithms: Decision Trees and Bayesian Network. Finally, a comparative analysis of accuracy is done. The results show that Bayesian Network outperforms the Decision Tress and gives better accuracy.read more

Conversion of adverse data corpus to shrewd output using sampling metrics
TL;DR: The results show that classification with an imbalanced dataset may produce high accuracy but low precision and recall for the minority class, and confirms that undersampling and oversampling are effective for balancing datasets, but the latter dominates.

TL;DR: The proposed model uses student related data collected by means of questionnaires given to parents, students and base registers which contain teachers input, which in turn is consolidated as the dataset and yields high accuracy rate.
Design and development of hybrid principal component analysis (hpca) algorithm for academic performance prediction
Chitra Mehra,Rashmi Agrawal +1 more
TL;DR: A hybrid algorithm of principal component analysis (HPCA) in conjunction with four machines learning (ML) algorithms: random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), naive Bayes (NB) of Bayes network and C5.0 of decision tree (DT) is introduced in this paper so that there is always an improvement in the performances of classification.
