Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This session focuses on machine learning topics in terms of model prediction and compared the performance of traditional statistical techniques and machine learning. The impact of coding schemes and machine learning methods on model prediction and variable selection was investigated in a nonlinear setting. In another study, machine learning models were introduced, compared with each other and traditional method such as multiple regression models in terms of their prediction accuracy. The performance of machine learning methods in detecting latent heterogeneity in academic growth was also examined. Machine learning methods coupled with large-scale data were also investigated to add contributions to existing research studies.
