of the academic performance focused on the educational level of Bachillerato in
Spain. For that, we will build a random network. Once the random network is
stated, it will evolve according to a set of evolution rules and this allows us to
simulate the academic behavior of Bachillerato students in order to determine
whether they promote or not to the next academic level. Finally, this simulation
process will allow us to provide predictions given by 95% of confidence intervals
of the Bachillerato academic results over the next few years. Our predictions
provide good results since, for each academic subpopulation, the new real data
appeared during the development of this study corresponding to the academic year
2009 − 2010 lie inside the confidence intervals.Cortés López, JC.; Colmenar, JM.; Hidalgo, I.; Sánchez Sanchez, A.; Santonja, F.; Villanueva Micó, RJ. (2014).
