Determinant Factors for Predicting Student Academic Success in Portuguese High Schools
摘要
In educational data mining, predicting student outcomes is a critical task that can help educators identify at-risk students and tailor interventions to improve educational outcomes. This study explores the effectiveness of various machine learning techniques, including Kernel principal component analysis Kernel PCA, Catboost, Adaptive Lasso and Spearman correlation, in predicting student outcomes. We aim to identify the most important factors influencing student performance and evaluate the predictive accuracy of these methods using DNN, SVM, and KNN on education data composed of these factors from each method.
