Predicting MBA scores from Bachelor’s, Higher Secondary, and Secondary Scores using correlation and regression analyses.
This is an assignment I did for my first-year
CS51 - Formal Analysescourse. The writeup and report for my statistical analyses can be provided upon request. Reach out to me on LinkedIn
I will focus on a dataset of 215 MBA students at XYZ campus in India, obtained from this Kaggle dataset. If there is strong evidence that there is a linear relationship between prior academic performance and MBA performance at XYZ campus, it may be worthwhile to conduct similar analyses on MBA students from other universities worldwide to answer my original research question.
Since obtaining a Bachelor’s degree is usually required to pursue an MBA program, I will first construct and evaluate a simple regression model to predict one’s MBA Percentage from their Bachelor’s Percentage. Then, I will construct a multiple regression model by including less recent academic performances as additional predictors and using the forward selection strategy to obtain a model of best fit.
