Predicting-students-future-success

Beginner program made with Java and Octave as an IA for Compsci IB HL. This is a program made for my teacher to provide better recommendation of future courses to his ELL students.

Note that this program only works on windows, and the octave installation path MUST be "C:\Octave\Octave-4.2.1". This program is no where to be perfect, but it is my first attempt into making a real-life program. There are many things, such as the path of the octave file MUST be in a path, that could be improved upon, but my programming skill is not there yet (I do not know a way to get around this at the moment)

The reason I used Octave to do the calculations is because I wanted to push out a project very quickly and thus I just chose Octave on top of my head. Also, the machine learning course online, https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning, have sample Octave codes that I can refer to.

Please note that this program is intended to be used by a specific person, my teacher, for his students and thus reading data from excel files was hard coded. The example in the excel file is superficial and does not reveal any private information.
