The Use of Linear Programming for Prediction.

PDF pending restoration

Schnittjer, Carl J. – 1972

The purpose of the study was to develop a linear programming model to be used for prediction, test the accuracy of the predictions, and compare the accuracy with that produced by curvilinear multiple regression analysis. (Author)

The Validity of Admissions Predictions: A Replication Study and Implications for the Future.

Peer reviewed

Dailey, Dennis M. – Journal of Education for Social Work, 1979

A study on the validity of admissions predictions done at the University of Kansas is reported. The results show that interjudge reliability was low, predictions captured small proportions of total variance, and year-to-year variability was apparent. Suggestions for research include the study of faculty as admissions decision makers. (Author/MLW)
