Description

The article supplies the theoretical basis for using its discrimination index as the foundation of a Q-matrix validation method. The abstract states: "The rationale for using the index as the basis for a proposed validation method is provided in the form of mathematical proofs to several relevant lemmas and a theorem." The index is defined for CDMs subsumed by the generalized DINA model, so the framework is general rather than tied to one specific CDM.
