Chen, Yi-Hsin – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2022
The quality of diagnostic profiles and probability assignment depends on the validity of the proposed attributes and Q-matrix. The rule-space method (RSM), one of diagnostic classification models, provides the quality indices of diagnostic profiles, such as the classification rate and the squared Mahalanobis distance. The study aims to further…

Unlu, Ali; Schurig, Michael – Current Issues in Comparative Education, 2015
Recently, performance profiles in reading, mathematics and science were created using the data collectively available in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) 2011. In addition, a classification of children to the end of their primary school years was…
