Re: Significance of Decline in Student Enrollment

This looks like life-table sort of data.
google "life table" or "survival"

perhaps see
www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/pubs/pubd/lftbls/lftbls.htm



Is this a population? I.e, all students enrolled in Fall 01?
What do you mean by "significant"?
Are you distinguishing significant from meaningful?
Are you comparing this group to some other group(s)?


Try a simple graph with time on the horizontal axis and percent still enrolled on the vertical axis.

If this is for a two-year program is it surprising how few are left at the start of a third school year?

To Whom It May Concern:

A study is being conducted in order to assess student attrition. For a
cohort of students, I have their enrollment data for a period of 5
terms. For example, for the fall 2001 students their data may appear
as follows.

01/FA 02/WI 02/FA 03/WI 03/FA
100% 73% 65% 59% 12%
980 720 640 575 115

Would you recommend a statistical test that would allow me to determine
if there is a significant decline in enrollment from one semester to
the next?

Appreciatively
