Deployment

In the past, rankings were mostly reviewed as a reference by users. With this project, we found we are also in a position to assist our users in integrating our results with their decision-making tools, to help them utilize rankings better and also make their lives easier. For this, producing rules from rankings and also making scores behind rankings easily accessible became very important.

Because of the preceding reason, our deployment is still on to develop a set of rules and also to make all the scores available for decision makers, which include schools and some parents. Specifically, the main task of sending out a rule to alert users when some ranking changes dramatically, especially when a ranking drops down dramatically. Users of this project also have a need to obtain all the scores and rankings for their management performance.

Another purpose for this project is to produce good predictive models for the users to forecast possible changes of school rankings as per population...
