Effects such as student dropout and the non-normal distribution of duration data confound the exploration of tutor efficiency, time-intutor vs. tutor performance, in intelligent tutors. We use an accelerated failure time (AFT) model to analyze the effects of using automatically generated hints in Deep Thought, a propositional logic tutor. AFT is a branch of survival analysis, a statistical tech...
