Using Logistic Regression To Identify New "At-Risk" Freshmen.
Nichols, Jerry L.; Orehovec, Paul M.; Ingold, Scott
Journal of Marketing for Higher Education, v9 n1 p25-37 1999
A logit model was developed, using historical data, to identify characteristics inherent in a college student's decision to withdraw from college. Once the model was derived, predicted probabilities of retention for an incoming freshman class were computed, and a program for monitoring high-risk students' progress was developed. (Author/MSE)
