An increasing number of US universities are recognizing the importance of international students. As state subsidies for public higher education institutions remain low, the reliance on out-of-state tuition from international students underscore their importance. Because international students often pay such high tuition fees, it is worth studying how such fees impact their education. This study investigated to what extent institutional expenditures affect undergraduate international student graduation rates. Using OLS regression with robust standard errors, the results indicated that academic support expenditures are significantly related to international student graduation rates, but may have a minimal effect. In addition, out-of-state tuition was also found to be significant, suggesting tuition affects students in ways not captured by expenditure data.

In this research the author aims to apply the K-NN and Naive Bayes algorithms for predicting student graduation rates at Sekolah Tinggi Pariwisata (STP) Mataram, The comparison of these two methods was carried out because based on several previous studies it was found that K-NN and Naive Bayes are well-known classification methods with a good level of accuracy. But which one has a better accuracy rate than the two algorithms, that's what researchers are trying to do. The output of this application is in the form of information on the prediction of student graduation, whether to graduate on time or not on time. The selection of STP as the research location was carried out because of the imbalance between the entry and exit of students who had completed their studies. Students who enter have a large number, but students who graduate on time according to the provisions are far very small, resulting in accumulation of the high number of students in each period of graduation, so it takes the initial predictions to quickly overcome these problems. Based on the results of designing, implementing, testing, and testing the Student Graduation Prediction Application program using the K-NN and Naive Bayes Methods with the Cross Validation method, the result is an accuracy for the K-NN method of 96.18% and for the Naive Bayes method an accuracy of 91.94% with using the RapideMiner accuracy test. So based on the results of the two tests between the K-NN and Naive Bayes methods which produce the highest accuracy, namely the K-NN method with an accuracy of 96.18%. So it can be concluded that the K-NN method is more feasible to use to predict student graduation

Data processing is imperative for the development of information technology. Almost any field of work has information about data. The data is made use of the analysis of the job. Nowadays, information data is imperatively processed to help workers in making decisions. This study discusses student prediction graduation rates by using the naïve Bayes method. That aims at providing information to college if they can use it properly to utilize the data of students who graduated by processing data mining. Based on the data mining process, steps founded that used producing information, namely predicting student graduation on time. The method of this study is Naïve Bayes with classification techniques. At this study, researchers used a six-phase data mining process of industry crossing standards in data mining known as CRISP-DM. The results of research concluded that the application of the Naive Bayes algorithm uses 4 (four) parameters namely ips, ipk, the number of credits, and graduation by getting an accuracy value of 80.95%.

The goal of this research study was to compare data mining techniques in predicting student graduation. The data included demographics, high school, ACT profile, and college indicators from 1995-2005 for first-time, full-time freshman students with a six year graduation timeline for a flagship university in the south east United States. The results indicated no difference in misclassification rates between logistic regression, decision tree, neural network, and random forest models. The results from the study suggest that institutional researchers should build and compare different data mining models and choose the best one based on its advantages. The results can be used to predict students at risk and help these students graduate.

ABSTRACT Nosocomial pneumonia is a notable cause of morbidity and mortality and leads to increases in lengths of hospital stays and institutional expenditures. Aminoglycosides are used to treat patients with these infections, but few data on the doses and schedules required to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes exist. We analyzed aminoglycoside treatment data for 78 patients with nosocomial pneumonia to determine if optimization of aminoglycoside pharmacodynamic parameters results in a more rapid therapeutic response (defined by outcome and days to leukocyte count resolution and temperature resolution). Cox proportional hazards, Classification and Regression Tree (CART), and logistic regression analyses were applied to the data. By all analyses, the first measured maximum concentration of drug in serum (C max)/MIC predicted days to temperature resolution and the second measured C max/MIC predicted days to leukocyte count resolution. For days to temperature resolution and leukocyte count resolution, CART analyses produced breakpoints, with an 89% success rate at 7 days of therapy for aC max/MIC of >4.7 and an 86% success rate at 7 days of therapy for a C max/MIC of >4.5, respectively. Logistic regression analyses predicted a 90% probability of temperature resolution and leukocyte count resolution by day 7 if aC max/MIC of ≥10 is achieved within the first 48 h of aminoglycoside therapy. Aggressive aminoglycoside dosing immediately followed by individualized pharmacokinetic monitoring would ensure that C max/MIC targets are achieved early in therapy. This would increase the probability of a rapid therapeutic response for pneumonia caused by gram-negative bacteria and potentially decreasing durations of parenteral antibiotic therapy, lengths of hospitalization, and institutional expenditures, a situation in which both the patient and the institution benefit.
