This study aims to suggest a generalized class of estimators for population proportion under simple random sampling, which uses auxiliary attributes. The bias and MSEs are considered derived to the first degree approximation. The validity of the suggested and existing estimators is assessed via an empirical investigation. The performance of…

This study presents several multivariate Generalizability theory designs for analyzing automatic item-generated (AIG) based test forms. The study used real data to illustrate the analysis procedure and discuss practical considerations. We collected the data from two groups of students, each group receiving a different form generated by AIG. A…

To improve and facilitate the acquisition of learning outcomes, teachers often use innovative teaching methods such as gamification to keep students' attention and increase their motivation. In recent years, the use of educational data mining (EDM) methods to explore academic topics has increased. With the expansion of EDM, a gap in the literature…

Sport analytics remains a growing area in the sport industry. As such, the demand for skills and knowledge in this area has grown. This demand includes off-field data, such as marketing trends, as well as financial data related to sport organizations.
