Use of Statistical Implicative Analysis in Complement of Item Analysis

Abstract

In many different situations, students or more generally individuals fill forms or surveys. Such forms could be used to evaluate the knowledge of students after a lesson in a classroom or could form a global evaluation of all the students in a country. More generally a survey aims at gathering the opinion of people on a particular subject. In such a case, item analysis gives interesting information on how the items have been answered. In this paper, we present the Statistical Implicative Analysis (SIA) that produces oriented rules. A survey about the future of students in the different schools of the ESPOCH is studied to highlight the interest of using SIA in order to be able to analyze the general behavior of the population
