Predicting academic success in health professions training and education: Insights from a data mining analysis by Bragazzi, Nicola Luigi

“…We found that attendance to the so called ‘tirocinio,’ an Italian word describing practical training activities and clinical placements, is the most important variable in terms of variance and that administrative social-demographic variables alone are sufficient to explain school success and achievement (AUC 0.99500 for 2007, AUC 0.98774 for 2008 and AUC 1.00000 for 2009). However taking into account also the results of the questionnaire the goodness-offit of our model slightly decreases (AUC 0.91890 for 2008, AUC 0.99641 for 2009). …”
