Projection Model of Postgraduate Student Flow

Abstract: An enrolment projection model based on the Markov chain is developed for postgraduate students at the College of Arts and Sciences in Universiti Utara Malaysia. Four years worth of data of student enrolments at the college were studied. The Markov chain model produced results close to the actual data for the first three years but deviated towards the fourth year. The model is helpful for the college's future planning in matters regarding postgraduate student enrolments.

“…There are different methods for demand prediction such as cohort, participation rate, regression and time series. These methods are used in the current research, however there are also other methods, for example Markov chain used by Rahim et al (2013), logistic regression by Logan (2010), multiple-method approach based on the application of a cohort model (macro level) and regression techniques (Gaither et al, 1981) and Lin et al (2009) that compared four modeling methods for higher education prediction: neural networks, logistic regression, discriminate analysis and structural equation modeling. Prediction performance results show that the neural network method produced the best prediction results among these four methods.…”

“…Although the typical transitions refer to students moving from first year to second year, for example, and eventually to either program completion or dropping out, the state definitions can be extended to help meet needs specific to particular applications. Gandy et al (2019) add cumulative credit hour ranges and Rahim et al (2013) add age group ranges to their state definitions to gain additional insights as well as predictive power. Nicholls (2007) specifically focuses on the use of the Markov chain model for improving the program completion results for master's and PhD students, and also identifies the usefulness of the models for longer-term analyses.…”

“…A mintatanterv hallgatói teljesítményre vonatkozó hatását vizsgálta Jansenés van der Hulst is [14,25], a hallgatói folyamok modellezésekor figyelembe véve a tanulók korát, nemét, tanulmányiátlagátés a középiskolás eredményeit. Rahimés szerzőtársai Markovlánc alapú modellezést használnak posztgraduális képzések hallgatóiáramainak elemzésére [24]. A hallgatók előrehaladásánakés végzési rátájának jobb nyomonkövethetőségeérdekében a hallgatókáramlását vizualizálták Sankey-diagramok segítségével friss cikkükben Horváthés szerzőtársai [13].…”
