Desirable Difficulty and Other Predictors of Effective Item Orderings
Online adaptive tutoring systems are increasingly being used in classrooms as a way to provide guided learning for students. Such tutors have the potential to provide tailored feedback based on specific student needs and misunderstandings. Bayesian knowledge tracing (BKT) is used to model student knowledge when knowledge is assumed to be changing throughout a single assessment period. The basic...
متن کاملRepeated retrieval practice and item difficulty: does criterion learning eliminate item difficulty effects?
A wealth of previous research has established that retrieval practice promotes memory, particularly when retrieval is successful. Although successful retrieval promotes memory, it remains unclear whether successful retrieval promotes memory equally well for items of varying difficulty. Will easy items still outperform difficult items on a final test if all items have been correctly recalled equ...
متن کاملA general approach to heteroscedastic linear regression
Our article presents a general treatment of the linear regression model, in which the error distribution is modelled nonparametrically and the error variances may be heteroscedastic, thus eliminating the need to transform the dependent variable in many data sets. The mean and variance components of the model may be either parametric or nonparametric, with parsimony achieved through variable sel...
متن کاملRobust Linear Regression Analysis - A Greedy Approach
The task of robust linear estimation in the presence of outliers is of particular importance in signal processing, statistics and machine learning. Although the problem has been stated a few decades ago and solved using classical (considered nowadays) methods, recently it has attracted more attention in the context of sparse modeling, where several notable contributions have been made. In the p...
متن کاملA Model-Independent Measure of Regression Difficulty
data mining, machine learning, model fitting, regression, exploratory data analysis, error rate estimation, data modeling, data cleaning, data preparation, predictability We prove an inequality bound for the variance of the error of a regression function plus its non-smoothness as quantified by the Uniform Lipschitz condition. The coefficients in the inequality are calculated based on training ...
