#' Knowledge spaces on fractions
#'
#' Bases of knowledge spaces on fractions obtained from querying experts.
#'
#' Three experts were queried about prerequisite relationships between 77 items
#' on fractions (Baumunk & Dowling, 1997). A forth basis represents those
#' prerequisite relationships on which the majority of the experts agree
#' (Dowling & Hockemeyer, 1998).

#' @format A list containing four bases (frac1 to frac3, and fracmaj) in binary
#' matrix form. Each matrix has 77 columns representing the different knowledge
#' items and a varying number of rows containing the basis elements.
