hmcdm_learning_sim

50,000 simulated responses from 1,000 respondents to 50 items.

Simulated data. These responses were generated by a script, not collected from people; see the generating script. The cov_true_alpha1, cov_true_alpha2, cov_true_alpha3, cov_true_alpha4, cov_true_order, cov_true_theta columns hold the true generating values, which a real dataset would not have.

About this table

DescriptionSimulated longitudinal skill growth (higher-order hidden Markov cognitive diagnosis model): 1,000 persons x 50 DINA items over 5 waves (10 items per wave, counterbalanced blocks, 4 skills). True learning ability and per-wave skill mastery in cov_true_*, true slip/guess in itemcov_true_*, Q-matrix in qmatrix1-4.
