Although educational research and evaluation generally occur in multilevel settings, many analyses ignore cluster effects. Neglecting the nature of data from educational settings …
Neural networks are a contending data mining procedure to estimate propensity scores due to its robustness to non-normal residual distributions, ability to detect complex nonlinear …
The integration of machine learning in educational data analysis presents challenges regarding the availability of sufficient training data, especially in the context of high missing …
Background: The generalized propensity score (GPS) addresses selection bias due to observed confounding variables and provides a means to demonstrate causality of …
This article introduces researchers in the science concerned with developing and studying research methods, measurement, and evaluation (RMME) to the educational data mining …
Asymmetric Likert-type items in research studies can present several challenges in data analysis, particularly concerning missing data. These items are often characterized by a …
Research methodologists typically use descriptive statistics and plots to report the findings of Monte Carlo experiments. But previous literature suggests that Monte Carlo results deserve …
Abstract Machine learning has become a common approach for estimating propensity scores for quasi-experimental research using matching, weighting, or stratification on the …
