Abstract:
|
Enrollment growth at a state university is dependent on current enrollment, retention and new enrollment by transfer and by first time freshmen. Prediction of new enrollments can be enhanced using demographic data from the local area. By using these factors in a model known as the partial adjustment model, it is possible to improve projections over standard Markov modeling. A variety of estimation methods will be tried using various error structures. The model will be tested on historical data. Projections will be made with error bounds created by normal theory as well as by bootstrap methods.
