And, a component to enrollment is the number of new freshmen that matriculate each year. This research investigates, through statistical analysis, factors which contribute to an applicant's decision to matriculate. There are several predictive models in the literature which attempt to forecast who will or how many students will matriculate at a university. Khajuria (2007) developed a model to predict which applicants to Ohio University would matriculate. However, it was shown that the behavior in the subsequent year was not consistent. To examine this effect, models from three years were developed and the changes in which factors effected matriculation and their effect was analyzed. For example, being an applicant from Perry County had a positive effect on matriculation for the year 2004, a negative effect in 2005 and did not significantly effect matriculation in 2006. Finally, a summary of factors important across all three years of study is presented. 2008-04-28 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1204512881 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1204512881 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
