Delafontaine, Jolien; Chen, Changsheng; Park, Jung Yeon; Van den Noortgate, Wim – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2022
In cognitive diagnosis assessment (CDA), the impact of misspecified item-attribute relations (or "Q-matrix") designed by subject-matter experts has been a great challenge to real-world applications. This study examined parameter estimation of the CDA with the expert-designed Q-matrix and two refined Q-matrices for international…

Wetzel, Eunike; Xu, Xueli; von Davier, Matthias – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2015
In large-scale educational surveys, a latent regression model is used to compensate for the shortage of cognitive information. Conventionally, the covariates in the latent regression model are principal components extracted from background data. This operational method has several important disadvantages, such as the handling of missing data and…
