Abstract

As the first paper of a series of exploratory analysis and statistical investigation works on the Gambian GABECE data based on a variety of statistical tools, we wish to begin with a thorough unsupervised learning process through descriptive and exploratory methods. This will lead to a variety of discoveries and hypotheses that will direct future research works related to this data.

Cet article est le premier d'une séries d'études statistiques sur les données gambiennes relatives aux résultats de fin d'études primaires. La base de données, nommée GABECE, est relativement grande avec 127 650 cas et sept variables. Nous préparons les futures études statistiques sophistiquées en procédant ici à une description assez large que possible de la base, à l'extraction des sous-variables d'études, à une étude exploratoire statistique et enfin à un apprentissage statistique non-supervisé. Les constatations empiriques aideront à postuler des hypothèses et orienteront les futures recherches statistiques.
