Prediction of Student’s Performance based on Incremental Learning

It is necessary to use Student dataset in order to analyze student’s performance for future improvements in study methods and overall curricular. Incremental learning methods are becoming popular nowadays since amount of data and information is rising day by day. There is need to update classifier in order to scale up learning to manage more training data. Incremental learning technique is a way in which data is processed in chunks and the results are merged so as to possess less memory. For this reason, in this paper, four classifiers that can run incrementally: the Naive Bayes, KStar, IBK and Nearest neighbor (KNN) have been compared. It is observed that nearest neighbor algorithm gives better accuracy compared to others if applied on Student Evaluation dataset which has been used. General Terms Incremental learning, Classification
