The purpose of this quantitative causal-comparative study is an empirical examination of the differences in business intelligence capability and the value and competitive advantage of mid-level higher education academia professionals from community colleges, four-year public, and four-year private institutions within the United States.…

The main aim of this study was to introduce the ConQuest program, which is used in the analysis of multivariate and multidimensional data structures, and to show its applications on example data structures. To achieve this goal, a basic research approach was applied. Thus, how to use the ConQuest program and how to prepare the data set for…

Blended learning, which is the "thoughtful fusion of face-to-face and online learning experiences" (Garrison & Vaughan, 2008), is a pedagogical paradigm used in courses across numerous disciplines. In this paper, the use of LinkedIn Learning modules as the primary technological component is described; the focus of this first-time use…

The design and analysis of experiments (DOE) has historically been an important part of an education in statistics, and with the increasing complexity of modern production processes and the advent of large-scale online experiments, it continues to be highly relevant. In this article, we provide an extensive review of the literature on DOE…

The issue of missing data raises concerns in all statistical and educational research. In this study, we focus on missing data in school-based assessment data generated by progressed high school learners (those who did not meet the promotional requirements for their current grades but were allowed to move to the next grade because of policy…

Using secondary data has many advantages, but there are also many limitations, including the lack of relevant information. This article draws on a previous study that used secondary data to investigate substance use in young, elite athletes. Three types of missing data appeared: missing data, lack of information about the data collection process,…

A growing body of literature has focused on missing data methods that factorize the joint distribution into a part representing the analysis model of interest and a part representing the distributions of the incomplete predictors. Relatively little is known about the utility of this method for multilevel models with interactive effects. This study…

Preprocessing is a critical step in the analysis pipeline of spectroscopic data. However, students are rarely introduced to preprocessing when learning spectral techniques in laboratory courses which in turn may affect and delay their progress in the field. Despite its undoubtable importance, students will be mainly performing spectroscopic…

Education plays a major role in the development of the consciousness of the whole society. Education has been improved by analyzing educational data related to student academic performance. By using data mining techniques and algorithms on data from the educational environment, students' performances can be predicted. In this study, a novel Hybrid…

The accounting profession is undergoing a radical change that supplants many historical accounting duties by requiring technical skills to be added to the accountant's tool chest. Stakeholders are increasingly adopting disruptive technologies, including data analytics, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. We reviewed 185…

Visual analysis is the predominant method of analysis in single-case research (SCR). However, most research suggests that agreement between visual analysts is poor, which may be due to a lack of clear guidelines and criteria for visual analysis, as well as variability in how individuals are trained. We developed a survey containing questions about…

Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) is a widely used tool for data management analysis across a variety of fields. The procedure for item response theory (PROC IRT) is one to perform unidimensional and multidimensional item response theory (IRT) analysis for dichotomous and polytomous data. This review provides a summary of the features of PROC…

Purpose: The analysis of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) data can be difficult to conceptualize due to the complexity of how the data are collected. The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of statistical considerations for analyzing observational data arising from EMA studies. Method: EMA data are collected in a variety of ways,…

The aim of this paper is to categorize and describe different types of learners in massive open online courses (MOOCs) by means of a subgroup discovery (SD) approach based on MapReduce. The proposed SD approach, which is an extension of the well-known FP-Growth algorithm, considers emerging parallel methodologies like MapReduce to be able to cope…

The nature of teaching and learning has evolved over the years, especially as technology has evolved. Innovative application of educational analytics has gained momentum. Indeed, predictive analytics have become increasingly salient in education. Considering the prevalence of learner-system interaction data and the potential value of such data, it…
