Statistical tests

Attribute selection is the process of identifying and removing as much of the irrelevant and redundant information as possible from a dataset. If the data dimensions are reduced, we will be able to improve the performance of the applied classification algorithms. They will function faster, more efficiently and will be with an improved classification accuracy. As an addition we can also execute data visualization, and increase the insight of the potential classification model [] . There are many…

cannot be equated with higher test scores. In his article he elaborates on six key flaws of using testing like VAM to evaluate teachers. When using a test to measure teacher effectiveness, there is a statistical error rate of 35 percent when using one year’s worth of data, which would cause many to be misevaluated.
