WHAT IS INSIDE

A complete education-analysis workflow.

The package connects design-specific data audits, model choice, diagnostics, interpretation, and reporting in one reproducible analysis.

DESIGNED FOR EDUCATION RESEARCH

Validation-first educational prediction.

This workflow is useful when:

  • You want to predict an educational outcome for future or unseen cases.
  • Students share schools or other units that should stay intact across validation splits.
  • You need to compare interpretable baselines with machine-learning models.
  • You need to discuss calibration, subgroup performance, and deployment limits.

This introductory workflow does not establish causal effects or authorize automated high-stakes decisions; prospective deployment needs governance, monitoring, and external validation.

THE DOWNLOADABLE PACKAGE

Run the example.
Then adapt your study.

The release uses a documented synthetic education dataset. Run the complete example first, then adapt the clearly marked settings and models to your research design.

  • Editable R Markdown source and rendered report
  • Synthetic clustered education dataset with documented leakage
  • School-level development and held-out test split
  • Logistic, lasso, decision-tree, and random-forest comparisons
  • Calibration, discrimination, thresholds, and bootstrap uncertainty
  • Subgroup review and accessible prediction figures
  • Start guide, reporting checklist, and individual-use license

The workflow supports analysis and documentation. The researcher remains responsible for selecting methods that fit the study and for reviewing conclusions with the dissertation advisor, committee, or a qualified statistician.
