Toward Factor Analysis of Educational Data
Original language description
Factor analysis of Boolean and ordinal data became a significant research direction in data analysis. In this paper we present a case study involving a recently developed method of factor analysis of ordinal data which uses the apparatus of fuzzy logic and closure structures. In particular, the method uses formal concepts of the input data as factors and is utilized in our paper to analyze British educational data. The results of the analyses demonstrate that the method is capable of extracting natural and well-interpretable factors which provide insight into students’ performances in tests. Our study represents an initial phase of a project of analyzing educational data by means of relational methods. Broader ramifications and further prospects regarding this project are also discussed.
