Using Mixed-Effects Modeling to Compare Different Grain-Sized Skill Models

چکیده
Most assessments, like the math subtest of the SAT or the GRE, are unidimensional, in that they treat all questions on the test as sampling a single underlying “skill”. Can we predict state tests scores better if we tag the questions with fine-grained models the skills needed? Psychometricians don’t do this presumably because they don’t get better fitting model, for a variety of reasons. We are investigating if we can do better prediction with finer-grained skill models. Our result gave a confirmative answer to this

Modeling and solving multi-skilled resource-constrained project scheduling problem with calendars in fuzzy condition
In this study, we aim to present a new model for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) considering a working calendar for project members and determined the skill factor of any member using the efficiency concept. For this purpose, the recyclable resources are staff resources where any person with multiple skills can meet the required skills of activities in a given time. ...
متن کاملAnalyzing Fine-Grained Skill Models Using Bayesian and Mixed Effects Methods
Two modeling methods were employed to answer the same research question of how accurate the various grained models with 1, 5, 39 and 106 skills are at assessing student knowledge in the ASSISTment online tutoring system and predicting their performance on the 2005 state MCAS test. One method, used by the second author, is mixed-effects statistical modeling. The first author evaluated the proble...
متن کاملCalculation of Inbreeding Depression Effects on Subclinical Mastitis Using Three Different Models
Pedigree information of 3972 Holstein cows and bulls, from 1961 to 2008, was used to calculate inbreeding coefficients and their effects on production traits and subclinical mastitis of dairy farm cows inAzerbaijan province,Iran. Inbreeding was included in a linear mixed model as a class variable. Data were analyzed using the PROC MIXED of SAS by MIVQUE method. Results showed that average inbre...
متن کاملBeyond the two-strategy model of skilled spelling: effects of consistency, grain size, and orthographic redundancy.
Most models of spelling assume that people rely on two procedures when engaging in spelling: a lexical look-up procedure that retrieves spellings in their entirety, and a nonlexical procedure that constructs spellings with a set of phoneme-grapheme rules. In the present research, we investigated whether larger sized subsyllabic relationships also play a role in spelling, and how they compare to...

Background & Objective: Mixed outcomes arise when, in a multivariate model, response variables measured on different scales such as binary and continuous. In a bivariate modeling, when there are mixed response variables, the common methods in classic statistics have shortcomings. This study aimed at designing an appropriate ANN model for modeling and predicting the bivariate mixed responses i...
