Predictive Analysis of the Enrolment of Elementary Schools Using Regression Algorithms

Abstract

— By fitting a linear equation to observable values, linear regression determines the relationship between two variables. The Department of Education enrollment data in the Philippines, specifically in the School Division of Batangas, is needed to produce modules. The data collected is from the division office, where data cleaning was applied. Deep Learning, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boosted Tree, Support Vector Machine, and Linear Regression were used to perform the prediction, and linear regression performed the best with an absolute value of 14.465 and a relative error of 84.81%.
