Hiep-Hung Pham; Anh-Duc Hoang; Sue-Ling Lai; Thi-Kieu-Trang Dong; Tran Le Huu Nghia; Manh-Toan Ho; Quan-Hoang Vuong – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2024
Under the tendency of the marketisation of tertiary education, universities/colleges and governments across the world have increasingly regarded international education as an education services export sector. Vietnam has always been regarded as a country of importing rather than exporting international education. Nevertheless, more and more…

Crisp, Gloria; Doran, Erin; Salis Reyes, Nicole A. – Research in Higher Education, 2018
This study models graduation rates at 4-year broad access institutions (BAIs). We examine the student body, structural-demographic, and financial characteristics that best predict 6-year graduation rates across two time periods (2008-2009 and 2014-2015). A Bayesian model averaging approach is utilized to account for uncertainty in variable…

Crisp, Gloria; Reyes, Nicole Alia Salis; Doran, Erin – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
This study models graduation rates at 4-year broad access institutions (BAIs). We examine the student body, structural-demographic, and financial characteristics that best predict 6-year graduation rates. A Bayesian model averaging approach is utilized to account for uncertainty in variable selection in modeling graduation rates. Evidence suggests…

Novick, Melvin R.; And Others – 1971
The feasibility and effectiveness of a Bayesian method for estimating regressions in m groups is studied by application of the method to data from the Basic Research Service of The American College Testing Program. Evidence supports the belief that in many testing applications the collateral information obtained from each subset of m-1 colleges…

Houston, Walter M.; Sawyer, Richard – 1988
Methods for predicting specific college course grades, based on small numbers of observations, were investigated. These methods use collateral information across potentially diverse institutions to obtain refined within-group parameter estimates. One method, referred to as pooled least squares with adjusted intercepts, assumes that slopes and…

Houston, Walter M. – 1988
Two methods of using collateral information from similar institutions to predict college freshman grade average were investigated. One central prediction model, referred to as pooled least squares with adjusted intercepts, assumes that slopes and residual variances are homogeneous across selected colleges. The second model, referred to as Bayesian…
