GOMEZ SILVA, Carlos Alberto. Schools classification according ICFES Saber 11 tests: An analysis using marginal models (MM). Soc. Econ. [online]. 2016, n.30, pp.69-89. ISSN 1657-6357.

Using the school classification according to tests ICFES Saber 11, a longitudinal analysis was performed for the period 2001 - 2011. This classification was analyzed using marginal models for ordinal responses, and considering explanatory variables as the school legal nature and the timetables. The main results found that the private schools have, on average, better ratings, as opposed to public schools; this shows an increase in the gap in the standings between these two types of establishments in the period 2001-2011 for the thirteen main cities in Colombia. No full-time effects on the classification of schools were found.

Keywords : ordinal data; marginal models; longitudinal categorical data; education evaluation.
