Minimized Corrected Inductive Item Tree Analysis
Description
mini_iita performs the minimized corrected inductive item
tree analysis procedure and returns the corresponding diff
values.
Usage
mini_iita(dataset, A)
Arguments
dataset |
a required data frame or matrix consisting of binary,
|
A |
a required list of competing quasi orders (surmise
relations), for instance obtained from a call to
|
Details
Minimized corrected inductive item tree analysis is a data analysis
method for deriving knowledge structures (more precisely, surmise
relations) from binary data. Details on this procedure can be found
in iita. The set of competing quasi orders is passed
via the argument A, so any selection set of quasi orders can
be used.
The set of competing quasi orders must be a list of objects of the
class set. These objects (quasi orders) consist
of 2-tuples (i, j) of the class
tuple, where a 2-tuple (i, j) is
interpreted as 'mastering item j implies mastering item
i.'
The data must contain only ones and zeros, which encode solving or failing to solve an item, respectively.
Value
If the arguments dataset and A are of required types,
corr_iita returns a named list of the following components:
diff.value |
a vector of the diff values
corresponding to the competing quasi orders in |
error.rate |
a vector of the error rates corresponding to the competing quasi orders in |
Note
The function iita can be used to perform one of the
three inductive item tree analysis procedures (including the
minimized corrected inductive item tree analysis method)
selectively. Whereas for the function mini_iita a selection
set of competing quasi orders has to be passed via the argument
A manually, iita automatically generates a selection
set from the data using the inductive generation procedure
implemented in ind_gen.
The latter approach using iita is common so far, in
knowledge space theory, where the inductive data analysis methods
have been utilized for exploratory derivations of surmise relations
from data. The function mini_iita, on the other hand, can be
used to select among surmise relations for instance obtained from
querying experts or from competing psychological theories.
