This study introduced the data mining approach to modeling
drop out feature and some implementation of this approach
The key to gaining a competitive advantage in the
educational industry is found in recognizing that student
databases, if properly managed, analyzed and exploited, are
unique, valuable assets. Data mining uses predictive
modeling, database segmentation, market basket analysis
and combinations to more quickly answer questions with
greater accuracy. New strategies can be developed and
implemented enabling the educational institutions to
transform a wealth of information into a wealth of
predictability, stability and profits.
