The innovation capability largely determines the initiative for future development of a region. Higher school is the main position for training innovative talents. Accurate and comprehensive assessment of innovation cultivation capability is an important basis of higher schools for continuous improvement. Thus, this paper focuses on assessing…

Whether machine learning algorithms effectively predict college students' course outcomes using learning management system data is unknown. Identifying students who will have a poor outcome can help institutions plan future budgets and allocate resources to create interventions for underachieving students. Therefore, knowing the effectiveness of…

Predicting and improving the academic achievement of university students is a multifactorial problem. Considering the low success rates and high dropout rates, particularly in open education programs characterized by mass enrollment, academic success is an important research area with its causes and consequences. This study aimed to solve a…

In higher education, academic advising is crucial to students' decision-making. Data-driven models can benefit students in making informed decisions by providing insightful recommendations for completing their degrees. To suggest courses for the upcoming semester, various course recommendation models have been proposed in the literature using…

Even though big data offers new opportunities to organizations, big data adoption (BDA) is still in the early stages of introduction, and its determinants remain unclear in many sectors. Therefore, this research intended to identify the determinants of BDA in the education sector. A theoretical model was developed based on the integration of the…

Precision education derives teaching and learning opportunities by customizing predictive rules in educational methods. Innovative educational research faces new challenges and affords state-of-the-art methods to trace knowledge between the teaching and learning ecosystem. Individual intelligence can only be captured through knowledge level…

The purpose of this article is to investigate how 5G and wireless communication technologies (5G+WCT) might be applied to English language classroom programs in higher education. The paper describes the complimentary roles of 5G and wireless communication technologies in English language teaching, includes student data collecting and…

Predicting student performance is crucial in higher education, as it facilitates course selection and the development of appropriate future study plans. The process of supporting the instructors and supervisors in monitoring students in order to upkeep them and combine training programs to get the best outcomes. It decreases the official warning…

This article revisits the Mincer earnings function and presents comparable estimates of the average monetary returns associated with an additional year of education across different regions worldwide. In contrast to the traditional Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method commonly employed in the literature, this study applied a cutting-edge approach…

This module is designed to apply mathematical models to nuclear deterrent problems, and to aid users in developing enlightened skepticism about the use of linear models in stability analyses and long-term predictions. An attempt is made at avoiding overwhelming complexities through concentration on land-based missile forces. It is noted that after…

Describes an algorithm used at the University of Ottawa to create examination schedules that are not only conflict free and minimize number of consecutive examinations for individual students, but provide for the scheduling of certain proper subsets of examinations into proper time slots and minimal overall number of consecutive examinations. (MBR)

Growth functions involved in mathematical models for biological development are discussed using the algebra of polynomials and matrices. (SD)

Mathematical models that are used to solve facility location problems are presented. All involve minimizing some distance function. (MNS)

Algorithms to determine the optimal locations of emergency service centers in a given city are presented, with theorems and proofs. (MNS)

A statistical model for investigating predictive validity at highly selective institutions is described. When the selection ratio is small, one must typically deal with a data set containing relatively large amounts of missing data on both criterion and predictor variables. Standard statistical approaches are based on the strong assumption that…
