标题： Examining the Impact of Income Inequality and Gender on School Completion in Malaysia: A Machine Learning Approach Utilizing Malaysia's Public Sector Open Data

摘要： 本研究利用机器学习技术，考察了马来西亚收入不平等、性别与学业完成率之间的关系。 所使用的数据集来自马来西亚公共部门开放数据门户，涵盖2016年至2022年的数据。 分析采用了多种机器学习技术，包括K均值聚类、ARIMA建模、随机森林回归以及Prophet用于时间序列预测。 这些模型用于识别数据中的模式、趋势和异常，并预测未来的学业完成率。 关键发现揭示了各州、性别和收入水平之间学业完成率存在显著差异。 分析还确定了具有相似完成率的州集群，表明可能影响教育成果的区域性因素。 此外，时间序列预测模型准确预测了未来的完成率，强调了持续监测和干预策略的重要性。 本研究以对政策制定者和教育工作者的建议作为结论，以解决观察到的差异并改善马来西亚的学业完成率。 这些建议包括针对特定州和人口群体的针对性干预措施、投资早期儿童教育以及应对收入不平等对教育机会的影响。 本研究的结果有助于理解影响马来西亚学业完成的因素，并为政策制定者和教育工作者提供有价值的见解，以制定有效的策略来提高教育成果。 显示英文摘要

摘要： This study examines the relationship between income inequality, gender, and school completion rates in Malaysia using machine learning techniques. The dataset utilized is from the Malaysia's Public Sector Open Data Portal, covering the period 2016-2022. The analysis employs various machine learning techniques, including K-means clustering, ARIMA modeling, Random Forest regression, and Prophet for time series forecasting. These models are used to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies in the data, and to predict future school completion rates. Key findings reveal significant disparities in school completion rates across states, genders, and income levels. The analysis also identifies clusters of states with similar completion rates, suggesting potential regional factors influencing educational outcomes. Furthermore, time series forecasting models accurately predict future completion rates, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and intervention strategies. The study concludes with recommendations for policymakers and educators to address the observed disparities and improve school completion rates in Malaysia. These recommendations include targeted interventions for specific states and demographic groups, investment in early childhood education, and addressing the impact of income inequality on educational opportunities. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the factors influencing school completion in Malaysia and provide valuable insights for policymakers and educators to develop effective strategies to improve educational outcomes.
