Abstract
Educational data mining is concerned with developing methods that discover knowledge from educational databases. Many predictive classifiers have been applied in mining educational data with less emphasis on their performance evaluation in order to determine the most efficient. In this study, a comparative analysis of three predictive classifiers for mining educational data was conducted.
