Predicting the Approval of a School Funding Proposal Using Derived Text-Analysis Variables & Random Forest Prediction Models Sridevi Pulugurtha This research presents the investigation of data analysis techniques and approaches used to solve a DonorsChoose.org (Non-Profit Educational Funding Organization) statistical problem from Kaggle. The ultimate goal was to predict the approval of a given school-funding proposal via a machine-learning algorithm only using text-analysis data.
