The study examined associations between rural interschool district expenditure allocations and high school student achievement, after accounting for socioeconomic factors. Both cross-sectional and time series per-student expenditure data (1982-1988) were used. Eleven performance criteria were evaluated based on 1985-1988 data. The sample included 27 small Central and Eastern Oregon school...

Bayesian networks are probabilistic models that represent complex distributions in a modular way and have become very popular in many fields. There are many methods to build Bayesian networks from a random sample of independent and identically distributed observations. However, many observational studies are designed using some form of clustered...
