Hu and Rangwala (2020) pdf

  • Models predicting if student at-risk for failing a course
  • Several algorithms perform worse for African-American students

Kai et al. (2017) pdf

  • Models predicting student retention in an online college program
  • J48 decision trees achieved much lower Kappa and AUC for Black students than White students
  • JRip decision rules achieved almost identical Kappa and AUC for Black students and White students

Anderson et al. (2019) pdf

  • Models predicting six-year college graduation
  • Performance for African-American students comparable to performance for students in other races.

Yu, Lee, and Kizilcec (2021)[pdf]

  • Model predicting college dropout
  • worse true negative rates and better recall for students who are not White or Asian, and also worse accuracy if the student is studying in person
