Ideal Response Pattern — ideal.response.pattern • CDM

This function computes the ideal response pattern which is the latent item response \(\eta_{lj}=\prod_{k=1}^K \alpha_{lk}\) for a person with skill profile \(l\) at item \(j\).

ideal.response.pattern(q.matrix, skillspace=NULL, rule="DINA")

Arguments

q.matrix: The Q-matrix
skillspace: An optional skill space matrix. If it is not provided, then all skill classes are used for creating an ideal response pattern.
rule: Chosen condensation rule for the CDM. Can be "DINA" or "DINO".

Value

A list with following entries

idealresp: A matrix with ideal response patterns
skillspace: Used skill space

data(sim.qmatrix, package="CDM")

#- ideal response pattern for DINA model
CDM::ideal.response.pattern(q.matrix)

#- ideal response pattern for DINO model
CDM::ideal.response.pattern( q.matrix, rule="DINO" )

# compute ideal responses for a reduced skill space
