Information About Author:

A multivariate statistical (correlation, factor, cluster, discriminant and variance) analysis of the quality of entrants in a set of Russian pedagogical universities on the basis of entrance tests in 2010 revealed a highly significant negative correlation between the equity of applicants accepted on a competitive exam score and the target set. There was constructed a high-quality twelvefold cluster model of pedagogical universities in three-dimensional factor space reflecting entrance tests, allowing the group to provide teacher training universities, homogeneous set of factor indicators.

Keywords: multidimensional statistical (correlative, factor, cluster, discriminant and dispersing) analysis, rating, entrance tests
