Kai et al. (2017) pdf

  • 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

  • First-generation college students were inaccurately predicted to lower than class median final course grade and lower average GPA
  • Fairness of models improved with the inclusion of clickstream and survey data


Yu et al. (2021) pdf

  • Models predicting college dropout
  • Models for first-generation residential students showed worse accuracy and true negative rate (i.e., predicting power of sophomore year persistence on college persistence)
  • Models for first-generation residential students showed significantly better recall (i.e., proportion of correctly identified dropouts) than online peers, whether the attribute were made aware or not
