Rizk Computer Science and Intelligent Systems Research Center, Blacksburg 24060, Virginia, USA Mahmoud Elshabrawy Mohamed Computer Science and Intelligent Systems Research Center, Blacksburg 24060, Virginia, USA Ahmed Mohamed Zaki Student performance prediction is essential so that institutions can assist in identifying weak performers and initiate corrective measures. This research assesses different regression models by applying data from Kaggle, which involves data cleaning like managing missing values and scaling of the data, hence feature extraction, then model imposition and authenticity. The models followed are Linear Regression, SVR, MLPRegressor, Gradient Boosting, Catboost, Xgboost, Random Forest, Extratrees, Decision Tree and K-neighbors. The analysis shows that Linear Regression produced the best result as it has the lowest MSE score of 0.000521 and high accuracy regarding other measures, including RMSE, MAE, and R². The results reveal that regression models can be used to predict students’ performance and be helpful to the various stakeholders in the system. The findings of this study will help develop required models for decision-making to improve students’performance. 2024 2024 51 62 10.54216/JAIM.070205 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/28/show/3147
