An Evaluation of Techniques for Projecting Grade-Progression Ratios.
Spar, Michael A.
Educational Research Quarterly, v18 n2 p5-22 Dec 1994
Several different methods for projecting grade-progression ratios were tested with 12 years of grade-specific membership data for Virginia. In nearly all cases, projections made by exponential smoothing produced more accurate results than series produced by averages, moving averages, or regression methods. (SLD)
