PISA 2000 Reading Study (Chen & de la Torre, 2014)

Description

This is a sub-dataset of the PISA 2000 of German students including 26 items of the reading test. The 26 items was analyzed in Chen and de la Torre (2014) and a subset of 20 items was analyzed in Chen and Chen (2016).

Usage

data(data.pisa00R.ct)
data(data.pisa00R.cc)

Format

• The format of the dataset data.pisa00R.ct (Chen & de la Torre, 2014) is:

  List of 3
$ data :'data.frame': 1095 obs. of 111 variables:
.. [list output truncated]
$ q.matrix: num [1:26, 1:8] 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 ...
..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
$ skills : chr [1:8] "Locating information" ...
  

• The format of the dataset data.pisa00R.cc (Q-matrix in Chen and Chen, 2016)

  List of 2
