Medical School Admission and Residence of Applicants: Empirical Bayes Estimates of Logit Coefficients.

Rolph, John E.; And Others

Journal of Educational Statistics, v4 n4 p291-323 Win 1979

Data on all applicants to U.S. medical schools were analyzed to find how applicant characteristics affected the probability of admission, particularly the function of state of residence separately for majority and minority group applicants. Discriminant analysis and empirical Bayes methods were used, and the differences were discussed. (Author/CTM)
