GetParameterNames: Parameter Names for All DCM Models

In dcmr: Attribute profile estimation using Diagnostic Classification Models and MCMC

Description

Given a Q-matrix and parameterization method it generates item and structural parameter names. These are non-kernel parameters: item thresholds (taus) and latent variable thresholds (nus)

Usage

GetParameterNames(qmatrix, nattributes, parameterization.method = 'Mplus')

Arguments

qmatrix	a matrix of size (nitems X nattributes) that specifies which items are required for mastery of each attribute (i.e., latent variable)
nattributes	a numeric value of number of attriutes
parameterization.method	optional character string of parameterization method used to calibrated parameters. If not specified then the default will be set to Mplus

Value

a string vector of threshold parameter names
