报告摘要:

Attribute hierarchy, the underlying prerequisite relationship among attributes, plays an important role in applying Cognitive Diagnosis Models (CDM) for designing efficient cognitive diagnostic assessments. However, there are limited statistical tools to directly estimate attribute hierarchy from response data. In this talk, we present a Bayesian formulation for a class of general CDMs with attribute hierarchy and introduce an efficient Metropolis within Gibbs algorithm to estimate the underlying hierarchy along with CDM parameters. Our simulation study demonstrated our method can fully recover or estimate at least a subgraph of the underlying structure across various conditions. The real data application indicates the potential of learning attribute structure from data using our algorithm and validating the existing attribute hierarchy specified by content experts.
