* Models predicting college dropout
* Models predicting college dropout for students in residential and fully online program
* Models for first-generation residential students showed worse accuracy and true negative rate (i.e., predicting power of sophomore year persistence in college)
* Whether the socio-demographic information was included or not, the model showed worse accuracy and true negative rates for first-generation students who are studying in person
* Models for first-generation residential students showed significantly better recall (i.e., proportion of correctly identified dropouts) than online peers, whether their status were included or not

  • Models predicting student retention in an online college program
  • J-48 decision trees achieved much higher Kappa and AUC for students whose parents did not attend college than those whose parents did
  • J-Rip decision rules achieved much higher Kappa and AUC for students whose parents did not attended college than those whose parents did
