判别分析法及其在教育评估中的应用

Discriminant Analysis and Its Application to Education Evaluation

判别分析是多元统计分析的一种方法,已在物种分类、经济分析、地质勘探、天气预报等诸多领域得到广泛的应用。本文首先介绍了判别分析的数学模型和求解方法,然后结合第十次新增博士学位授予单位的实际评审材料,阐述了判别分析方法在此类评估中的应用,以期该定量分析方法能在教育评估领域得到有效的利用。

Discriminant analysis as a method of multivariate statistic analysis is widely used in many fields. A description is given of the mathematical model of discriminant analysis and its solutions. The application of discriminant analysis in actual evaluations is discussed with the evaluations of the country＇s tenth group of new doctoral programs as an example. It demonstrates how such quantitative analysis may be applied to education evaluation.
