Format
mdm_data is a tibble containing responses
to multiplication items, as described in MacReady & Dayton (1977). There are
142 rows and 5 variables.
respondent: Respondent identifiermdm1-mdm4: Dichotomous item responses to the 4 multiplication items
mdm_qmatrix is a tibble that identifies
which skills are measured by each MDM item. This MDM data contains 4 items,
all of which measure the skill of multiplication. The mdm_qmatrix
correspondingly is made up of 4 rows and 2 variables.
item: Item identifier, corresponds tomdm1-mdm4inmdm_datamultiplication: Dichotomous indicator for whether or not the multiplication skill is measured by each item. A value of1indicates the skill is measured by the item and a value of0indicates the skill is not measured by the item.
