Improving Graduation Rate Estimates Using Regularly Updating Multi-Level Absorbing Markov Chains

Abstract: American universities use a procedure based on a rolling six-year graduation rate to calculate statistics regarding their students’ final educational outcomes (graduating or not graduating). As an alternative to the six-year graduation rate method, many studies have applied absorbing Markov chains for estimating graduation rates. In both cases, a frequentist approach is used. For the standard six-year graduation rate method, the frequentist approach corresponds to counting the number of students who finished t… Show more

“…Em [Brezavšček et al 2017], [Boumi and Vela 2020] e [Araújo 2019], o objetivo foi o de se desenvolver um modelo estocástico para estimar e monitorar continuamente vários indicadores de qualidade e eficácia no ensino superior. Os modelos de Cadeia de Markov foram aplicados para simular o progresso acadêmico em instituic ¸ões de ensino superior, onde o progresso dos alunos foi estimado considerando a durac ¸ão prevista do estudo, os créditos acadêmicos ou a quantidade de reprovac ¸ões para representar os estados.…”
