An Ingenious M ethodology for the Collation of Existing Algorithms for the Prognosis o f Student Performance

Abstract

In this proposed research work we use a profound Data mining technique which is an automated procedure of discovering interesting patterns by means of comprehensible predictive models from large data sets by grouping them. Predicting a student's academic performance is very crucial especially for universities. Educational Data Mining (EDM) is an approach for extricating useful data that could possibly affect a firm. Nowadays student’s performance is swayed by a lot of aspects. These aspects might involve the academic performance of a student. This subject evaluates numerous factors probably suspected to alter a student’s empirical performance in scholastic, and discover a subjective design which classifies and forecast the student’s learning outcomes. The intention of this research is to conduct a case study on factors swayed by the student’s academic achievements and to dictate greater impact factors. In this paper we focus on the academic achievement evaluation on the basis of correct instances and incorrect instances by means of Naive Bayes and Random Forest algorithms. This paper intends to make a metaphorical assessment of Naive Bayes and random Forest classifier on student data and dictate the best algorithm.
