Xing, Wanli; Pei, Bo; Li, Shan; Chen, Guanhua; Xie, Charles – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Engineering design plays an important role in education. However, due to its open nature and complexity, providing timely support to students has been challenging using the traditional assessment methods. This study takes an initial step to employ learning analytics to build performance prediction models to help struggling students. It allows…

Doroudi, Shayan; Brunskill, Emma – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
In this paper, we investigate two purported problems with Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT), a popular statistical model of student learning: "identifiability" and "semantic model degeneracy." In 2007, Beck and Chang stated that BKT is susceptible to an "identifiability problem"--various models with different…

Griffiths, Thomas L.; Chater, Nick; Norris, Dennis; Pouget, Alexandre – Psychological Bulletin, 2012
Bowers and Davis (2012) criticize Bayesian modelers for telling "just so" stories about cognition and neuroscience. Their criticisms are weakened by not giving an accurate characterization of the motivation behind Bayesian modeling or the ways in which Bayesian models are used and by not evaluating this theoretical framework against specific…

Massaro, Dominic W.; Friedman, Daniel – Psychological Review, 1990
Several models of information integration are developed and analyzed in the context of a prototypical pattern-recognition task. Evaluation, integration, and decision-making processes are specified for each. Simulations and predictions are carried out to provide a measure of identifiability or extent to which they can be distinguished from one…
