چکیده
This research focuses on developing and implementing the Naïve Bayesian Classifier to GEAR courses at Rio Salado Community College. It demonstrates that this predictive model has good prediction accuracy of at-risk students. Predictive results across courses and cumulative gain charts show potential improvements to be made in students' academic success by focusing at high level risk students.
