BENJAMIN GAMBOA, RESEARCH ANALYST CRAFTON HILLS COLLEGE RESEARCHING: ALPHA TO ZETA

SESSION OBJECTIVES Participants will be able to: Apply proper controls and create a dataset for a research study Evaluate multiple statistical analyses, such as statistical and practical significance, logistic regression, and segmentation modeling, for appropriateness to the study Facilitate conversations around findings to effect change at their college

MOTIVATION Communications professor observed 100% success rates in short-term courses Considerable literature on accelerated and compressed coursework Title III STEM Grant was considering compressed sequencing

CONTROLS Reviewed literature for methods Determined 8-week control would provide most data and usable results Other controls: college, course, course length, faculty, course type, and term (fall and spring only) Disaggregation: age, gender, and ethnicity

CREATING DATASET A total of 4,592 records (over 5 years) were identified for the treatment group Applying the controls, 11,002 records were identified for the control group Variables created: Course success, cumulative prior GPA (continuous), cumulative prior GPA (normalized), student’s age in term, first-time students

STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES Statistical significance: p-value Practical significance: effect size (Cohen’s d) Predictive analytics: logistic regression & segmentation analytics

STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES Statistical significance: p-value Practical significance: effect size (Cohen’s d) Predictive analytics: logistic regression & segmentation analytics

STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE

STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES Statistical significance: p-value Practical significance: effect size (Cohen’s d ) Predictive analytics: logistic regression & segmentation analytics

PRACTICAL SIGNIFICANCE

STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES Statistical significance: p-value Practical significance: effect size (Cohen’s d) Predictive analytics: logistic regression & segmentation modeling

PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS Logistic Regression Predicts binary outcome (i.e. success, no success) Standard package in statistical software Supports (A LOT) of continuous and dichotomous predictor variables Assumes lack of relationship between predictor variables

PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS Logistic Regression Dummy coding Multicollinearity Missing values Overfitting the model Selecting the cut off value Choosing the best model Goodness-of-fit test Interpretation of results

PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS Segmentation Modeling Classification tree (CRT) algorithm Standard in some packages, add-on for others Partitions cases along predictor variables where similar outcomes are grouped together Visual output that is easy to describe and understand

RESULTS Success Rates by Course Length

RESULTS Success Rates by Course Length for Students with Higher and Lower than Average Prior GPAs

RESULTS Success Rates by Course Length and Subject

RESULTS PredictorβpExp(β) Course Length.44< Prior GPA.73< Course length has an odds ratio of and a positive β coefficient meaning a student enrolled in a compressed course is one and a half times more likely to succeed than a student enrolled in a traditional-length course. Prior cumulative GPA has an odds ratio of and a positive β coefficient meaning as a student is two times more likely to succeed than a student with a GPA.73 points lower.

RESULTS Segmentation model best predicted success for: 1)continuing students with GPAs greater than and 2)students with GPAs between and enrolled in condensed courses 12
