Economics and Student Affairs Project
Research question: find that there is statistically significant evidence that the responses to the question if your expectations for studying in Economics at UVic have been met? differ depending upon the respondent’s choice of department. If the distribution of responses varies considerably between the different study hours categories.
There are three types test we are able to do.
- Penalized Logit regression (Lasso)
Since we have a set of new binary variable now, we are able to do logistic regression and to identify which predictor is important for student’s choice about whether use this service.
One example is which factor is related to whether student use academic advising service. Please see example one: whether student use Academic Advising.
1. Resource Usage
Generate a set of binary variables to illustrate the resource usage at UVic for this group of international students.
1.1 Different resource usage
This diagram shows if students use this type service. The idea is from Susan, Tricia and David. We dichotomize the question 34 to question 54 to generate binary variables about whether students use this service. We identify “no basis to judge” and “NA” as “FALSE” and other items as “TRUE”.
