Analyzing Students Performance Using Frequent Item Set Mining, Clustering & Classification
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Educational data mining (EDM) is defined as the area of scientific inquiry centered around the development of methods for making discoveries within the unique kinds of data that come from educational settings , and using those methods to better understand students and the settings which they learn in. Data mining enables organizations to use their current reporting capabilities to uncover and understand hidden patterns in vast databases. As a result of this insight, institutions are able to allocate resources and staff more effectively. In this paper, we present a real-world experiment conducted in Shree Rayeshwar Institute of Engineering and Information Technology (SRIEIT) in Goa, India. Here we found the relevant subjects in an undergraduate syllabus and the strength of their relationship. We have also focused on classification of students into different categories such as good, average, poor depending on their marks scored by them by obtaining a decision tree which will predict the performance of the students and accordingly help the weaker section of students to improve in their academics. We have also found clusters of students for helping in analyzing student performance and also improvising the subject teaching in that particular subject.
