Abstract

"The objective of this study is to produce a model which when given the information of a prospective student at the University of Missouri--Rolla will predict whether that student will enroll at the University or not. As a part of this goal, a dataset of student information for a particular semester was obtained in order to be used in designing the model. The information from this dataset was used to train Artificial Neural Networks and create Decision Trees. The models were created from information obtained in this manner"--Abstract, page iii.
