Summary
In this analysis of the occupational placement of graduates, we define the role played by some covariates assembled to predict the dichotomous event occupied/unoccupied. These covariates influence the response variable singularly and jointly. This work aims to evaluate this joint effect by means of a recently developed technique known as Boolean logit. We applied an exploratory binary segmentation analysis to support the analysis.
Keywords
- Graduates’ placement
- Segmentation analysis
- Boolean regression analysis
- Logit regression analysis
This paper is the result of the joint research of the three authors. M. Porcu was responsible for the final editing of Sections 1, 2, 5 and 6, whereas N. Tedesco was responsible for Section 4, and G. Puggioni for Section 3. The authors wish to thank the anonymous referees for their precious suggestions.
