Although considerable literature has explored this topic, many previous studies may have notable problems with self-selection, since students who choose to participate are likely more motivated academically than those who do not.

Sage, Andrew J.; Cervato, Cinzia; Genschel, Ulrike; Ogilvie, Craig A. – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2021
Students are most likely to leave science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors during their first year of college. We developed an analytic approach using random forests to identify at-risk students. This method is deployable midway through the first semester and accounts for academic preparation, early engagement in university…
