Despite billions of dollars invested in educational benefits for veterans and active-duty military families under the U.S. Post-9/11 GI Bill, many prospective students are not forging pathways through public institutions of higher education, and funding is disproportionately spent on for-profit colleges. To reveal patterns of lack of access and opp...

... midpoint of the fuzzy large recognizes a crossover point that specifies a membership of 5. A value greater than the midpoint means a higher probability of being a member of the set, and any values lower than the midpoint have a declining membership probability. The spread factor specifies the shape and character of the transition zone ( Figure 3A), and the midpoint of fuzzy small recognizes the crossover point also assigned to 5. Values greater than the midpoint on this side have a lower probability of being a member of the set and values underneath the midpoint have a higher probability of membership. The spread parameter controls the rate at which fuzzy membership increases from low to high ( Figure 3B). ...

Values greater than the midpoint on this side have a lower probability of being a member of the set and values underneath the midpoint have a higher probability of membership. The spread parameter controls the rate at which fuzzy membership increases from low to high ( Figure 3B). For our study, the fuzzy membership functions map the membership in a sigmoid shape (Figure 5), in which both of the functions are based on the user specifying the value of spread (f 1 ) and the midpoint (f 2 ). ...

... The critical first step in addressing this challenge involves mapping education deserts, a process essential for pinpointing areas where students face the risk of academic setbacks. This mapping serves as a catalyst for developing targeted strategies to improve educational accessibility [1,2]. ...
Limited access to educational resources, stemming from geographical remoteness and transportation challenges, creates education deserts that impede equitable access to quality education. Recognizing these education deserts is crucial for pinpointing areas where students may face academic setbacks and for crafting specific strategies to enhance educational accessibility. This research employs bivariate choropleth maps to delineate education deserts in public middle schools in Bogor City, Indonesia, integrating data on school accessibility and student demographics. The maps highlight education desert areas in the darkest shade, revealing the top five areas characterized by low school accessibility and high student demographics. The insights derived from mapping education deserts in Bogor City contribute to the development of targeted strategies, ensuring that all students, irrespective of their location or socioeconomic background, enjoy unimpeded access to high-quality education, thereby advancing educational equity.
