Multi Parameter Based High School Student Admission System

Model-based Student Admission

We should test people the same way we test software. During the last decades, the field of software testing has matured into a solid sector of software engineering with a wide variety of available techniques, empirically supported usefulness and applicability claims, a sophisticated ontology of terms and approaches, as well as an arsenal of tools. The main contribution of this paper is a propos...

Student characteristics, professional preferences, and admission to medical school

Objectives: A potential new avenue to address the shortage of country doctors is to change the rules for admission to medical school. We therefore study the link between high-school grade point average and prospective physicians' choice to work in rural areas. To further inform the discussion about rules for admission, we also study the effects of other predictors: a measure of students' attitu...

College Admission and High School Integration ∗

We investigate whether a policy that bases college admission on relative performance can modify the degree of racial or ethnic segregation in high schools by inducing students to relocate to schools with weaker competition. Theoretically, such school arbitrage will neutralize the admissions policy at the college level. It will result in partial desegregation of the high schools if flows are suf...

High School Socioeconomic Segregation and Student Attainment

Multi-Model System Parameter Estimation

We pose a multi-model system parameter estimation problem. A multi-model system is a linearly parameterized system H(z, p) = ∑np i=1 piHi(z). The parameter estimation problem is: given the set of systems {Hi(z)} np i=1, describing the multi-model system, find a causal system that assumes as an input the input/output signals of the multi-model system and produces as an output the parameter estim...
