| Popis: |
We use gradient boosting machines and logistic regression to predict academic throughput at a South African university. The results highlight the significant influence of socio-economic factors and field of study as predictors of throughput. We further find that socio-economic factors become less of a predictor relative to the field of study as the time to completion increases. We provide recommendations on interventions to counteract the identified effects, which include academic, psychosocial and financial support. |
