writeAlizer: Scoring Model Development

This reference describes how the scoring models were developed. For installation, importing files, and generating scores, start with the getting-started guide.

How to use this reference

Use the contents list to jump to your model. Each model section describes its training data, the algorithms combined in its predictions, and the features those algorithms used. An ensemble combines predictions from several algorithms. Weight tables describe that combination; feature-importance tables describe relative contributions, not causal effects.

These are historical model-development summaries. writeAlizer loads saved models rather than retraining them. During scoring, Models 2 and 3 standardize predictors within the submitted group of texts, so changing that group can change scores. Training-time feature selection described below is distinct from this scoring step.

The detailed tables are wide. On a small screen, scroll a table horizontally to see all algorithms.

Recommended Models for Use

ReaderBench-Model-3 and Coh-Metrix-Model-3 are the recommended models for generating predicted writing quality scores, and aWE-CBM-Model-1 is the best available model for generating automated written expression curriculum-based measurement scores.

Scoring Model Development {#scoring-model-development}

The general process used to generate all scoring models is presented below.

Predictive Algorithms and R Packages Used

The caret and caretEnsemble packages were used as wrappers for the following predictive algorithms:

These algorithms are described in detail in the following references (among others):

Steps

The following flowchart provides an overview of the scoring model development workflow, with more details on some steps provided below.

Figure 1. Model Development Process.

1. Import Data

Depending on the specific scoring model, ReaderBench, Coh-Metrix, and/or GAMET output files were imported into R using functions similar to the import_XXXX.R functions in writeAlizer (see https://shmercer.github.io/writeAlizer/reference/index.html)

2. Pre-Process Data

Automated data pre-processing was done using the preProcess() function in caret:

3. Determine Optimal Tuning Parameters

The following tuning hyperparameters were optimized based on resampling (repeated 10 fold) in caret. Each algorithm was tuned separately. Full descriptions of the tuning parameters are available in each package's documentation.

4. Final/Optimal Model for each Algorithm

A model for each algorithm was fit with the hyperparameters set to the optimal values found in Step 3, with bootstrapped (1000 samples) resampling-based cross-validation so that an ensemble model (weighting each algorithm) could be built based on the resamples. This step was done with the caretList() function of the caretEnsemble package. This process is illustrated in more detail in the caretEnsemble vignette: https://zachmayer.github.io/caretEnsemble/articles/caretEnsemble-intro.html

5. Estimate an Ensemble Model to Combine the Algorithms

The caretEnsemble() function was used to determine the optimal linear weighting of the algorithms that minimized RMSE (i.e., discrepancy between actual writing quality scores and predicted quality scores) in the resamples from Step 4. The tables below report the fitted algorithm weights, including small or negative coefficients where present.

The varImp() function of caretEnsemble was used to generate estimates of relative predictor importance for the overall ensemble model and for each individual algorithm.

6. Generate Predicted Quality Scores from each Ensemble

The predict() function of caretEnsemble was used to generate/store predicted quality scores for the ensemble models.

7. Average Scores to get Final Predicted Quality Scores

The predicted scores from each ensemble were averaged to produce the final predictions.


ReaderBench Model 1 {#readerbench-model-1}

General Description

Model 1 has been replaced by the greatly simplified Model 2 that better handles multi-paragraph compositions. Model 2 is recommended over Model 1.

Model 1 is an ensemble (formed by averaging predicted quality scores) of the six sub-models described below.

All of these sub-models used ReaderBench scores on 7 min narrative writing samples ("I once had a magic pencil and ...") from students in the fall, winter, and spring of Grades 2-5 [@Mercer2019] to predict holistic writing quality on the samples (elo ratings calculated from paired comparisons). More details on the sample are available in [@Mercer2019].

Highly correlated ReaderBench metrics (r > |.90|) were excluded during pre-processing (see section on Scoring Model Development for more details).

This scoring model was evaluated in the following publications: [@Matta2022; @Mercer2022; @Keller-Margulis2021]

ReaderBench Model 1a

This model was trained on fall data in [@Mercer2019].

Algorithm Weightings in Ensemble

Abbreviations: all = ensemble model gbm = stochastic gradient boosted trees pls = partial least squares regression svm = support vector machines enet = elastic net regression rf = random forest regression mars = bagged multivariate adaptive regression splines cube = cubist regression

The table below presents the linear weightings of each algorithm for the ensemble model.

| Intercept | gbm | pls | svm | enet | rf | mars | cube | |:----------|:--------|:-------|:--------|:--------|:-------|:-------|:-------| | -3.9077 | -0.1323 | 0.4789 | -0.0963 | -0.0361 | 0.3985 | 0.1297 | 0.3442 |

Metric Importance in Each Algorithm and Ensemble

Each column sums to approximately 100, allowing for rounding (values describe relative contribution to the model).

ReaderBench Model 1d

This model was trained on principal component scores for fall data in [@Mercer2019].

Algorithm Weightings in Ensemble

Abbreviations: all = ensemble model gbm = stochastic gradient boosted trees pls = partial least squares regression svm = support vector machines enet = elastic net regression rf = random forest regression mars = bagged multivariate adaptive regression splines cube = cubist regression

The table below presents the linear weightings of each algorithm for the ensemble model.

| Intercept | gbm | pls | svm | enet | rf | mars | cube | |:----------|:-------|:-------|:-------|:--------|:-------|:-------|:-------| | -8.4195 | 0.0406 | 0.8127 | 0.0694 | -0.0509 | 0.1058 | 0.0038 | 0.0448 |

Metric Importance in Each Algorithm and Ensemble

Each column sums to approximately 100, allowing for rounding (values describe relative contribution to the model).

PC1 = scores on 1st principal component extracted, ...

Note: Importance is unavailable for support vector machines when PCA-based pre-processing is used (so all values for svm are 0).

ReaderBench Model 1e

This model was trained on principal component scores for winter data in [@Mercer2019].

Algorithm Weightings in Ensemble

Abbreviations: all = ensemble model gbm = stochastic gradient boosted trees pls = partial least squares regression svm = support vector machines enet = elastic net regression rf = random forest regression mars = bagged multivariate adaptive regression splines cube = cubist regression

The table below presents the linear weightings of each algorithm for the ensemble model.

| Intercept | gbm | pls | svm | enet | rf | mars | cube | |:----------|:-------|:-------|:-------|:--------|:-------|:-------|:-------| | -8.0185 | 0.0573 | 0.5839 | 0.5269 | -0.3984 | 0.1184 | 0.1066 | 0.0459 |

Metric Importance in Each Algorithm and Ensemble

Each column sums to approximately 100, allowing for rounding (values describe relative contribution to the model).

PC1 = scores on 1st principal component extracted, ...

Note: Importance is unavailable for support vector machines when PCA-based pre-processing is used (so all values for svm are 0).

ReaderBench Model 1f

This model was trained on principal component scores for spring data in [@Mercer2019].

Algorithm Weightings in Ensemble

Abbreviations: all = ensemble model gbm = stochastic gradient boosted trees pls = partial least squares regression svm = support vector machines enet = elastic net regression rf = random forest regression mars = bagged multivariate adaptive regression splines cube = cubist regression

The table below presents the linear weightings of each algorithm for the ensemble model.

| Intercept | gbm | pls | svm | enet | rf | mars | cube | |:----------|:-------|:-------|:-------|:--------|:--------|:-------|:-------| | -9.2262 | 0.1219 | 0.7713 | 0.1603 | -0.3706 | -0.0217 | 0.3129 | 0.0233 |

Metric Importance in Each Algorithm and Ensemble

Each column sums to approximately 100, allowing for rounding (values describe relative contribution to the model).

PC1 = scores on 1st principal component extracted, ...

Note: Importance is unavailable for support vector machines when PCA-based pre-processing is used (so all values for svm are 0).

ReaderBench Model 2 {#readerbench-model-2}

General Description

ReaderBench Model 2 is a simplified version of Model 1 that better handles multi-paragraph compositions, and Model 2 is recommended over Model 1.

Model 2 is an ensemble (formed by averaging predicted quality scores) of three sub-models that are described below. All of these models used ReaderBench scores on 7 min narrative writing samples ("I once had a magic pencil and ...") from students in the fall, winter, and spring of Grades 2-5 [@Mercer2019] to predict holistic writing quality on the samples (elo ratings calculated from paired comparisons). More details on the sample are available in [@Mercer2019].

Highly correlated ReaderBench metrics (r > |.90|) were excluded during pre-processing (see section on Scoring Model Development for more details).

ReaderBench Model 2a

This model was trained with fall data from [@Mercer2019].

Algorithm Weightings in Ensemble

ReaderBench Model 3 {#readerbench-model-3}

General Description

ReaderBench Model 3, recommended for current use, is an ensemble (formed by averaging predicted quality scores) of three genre-specific models, detailed below.

The models were trained on ReaderBench scores from 15 min narrative, expository, and persuasive writing samples from students in Grades 2-5 to predict holistic writing quality on the samples (theta scores calculated from paired comparisons).

Highly correlated ReaderBench metrics (r > |.90|) were excluded during pre-processing (see section on Scoring Model Development for more details).

More details on the sample will be provided once peer review is complete on the main study using this model.

ReaderBench Model 3narr

This model was trained on 15-minute narrative writing samples.

Coh-Metrix Model 1 {#cohmetrix-model-1}

General Description

Model 1 has been replaced by the greatly simplified Model 2. Model 2 is recommended for current use.

Coh-Metrix Model 1 is an ensemble (formed by averaging predicted quality scores) of six sub-models that are detailed below.

All of these models used Coh-Metrix scores on 7 min narrative writing samples ("I once had a magic pencil and ...") from students in the fall, winter, and spring of Grades 2-5 [@Mercer2019] to predict holistic writing quality on the samples (elo ratings calculated from paired comparisons). More details on the sample are available in [@Mercer2019].

This scoring model was evaluated in the following publications: [@Matta2022; @Keller-Margulis2021]

Coh-Metrix Model 1a

This model was trained on fall Coh-Metrix scores from data described in [@Mercer2019].

Algorithm Weightings in Ensemble

Abbreviations: all = ensemble model gbm = stochastic gradient boosted trees pls = partial least squares regression svm = support vector machines enet = elastic net regression rf = random forest regression mars = bagged multivariate adaptive regression splines cube = cubist regression

The table below presents the linear weightings of each algorithm for the ensemble model.

| Intercept | gbm | pls | svm | enet | rf | mars | cube | |:----------|:-------|:-------|:-------|:--------|:------|:-------|:------| | -10.8465 | 0.0266 | 0.1506 | 0.2663 | -0.0302 | 0.296 | 0.2609 | 0.136 |

Metric Importance in Each Algorithm and Ensemble

Each column sums to approximately 100, allowing for rounding (values describe relative contribution to the model).

Coh-Metrix Model 1d

This model used principal components scores from 7 min narrative writing samples in fall [@Mercer2019].

Algorithm Weightings in Ensemble

Abbreviations: all = ensemble model gbm = stochastic gradient boosted trees pls = partial least squares regression svm = support vector machines enet = elastic net regression rf = random forest regression mars = bagged multivariate adaptive regression splines cube = cubist regression

The table below presents the linear weightings of each algorithm for the ensemble model.

| Intercept | gbm | pls | svm | enet | rf | mars | cube | |:----------|:-------|:-------|:-------|:--------|:-------|:------|:-------| | -20.0773 | 0.0971 | 0.7558 | 0.5784 | -0.4401 | -4e-04 | 0.002 | 0.0227 |

Metric Importance in Each Algorithm and Ensemble

Each column sums to approximately 100, allowing for rounding (values describe relative contribution to the model).

PC1 = scores on 1st principal component extracted, ...

Note: Importance is unavailable for support vector machines when PCA-based pre-processing is used (so all values for svm are 0).

Coh-Metrix Model 1e

This model used principal components scores from 7 min narrative writing samples in winter [@Mercer2019].

Algorithm Weightings in Ensemble

Abbreviations: all = ensemble model gbm = stochastic gradient boosted trees pls = partial least squares regression svm = support vector machines enet = elastic net regression rf = random forest regression mars = bagged multivariate adaptive regression splines cube = cubist regression

The table below presents the linear weightings of each algorithm for the ensemble model.

| Intercept | gbm | pls | svm | enet | rf | mars | cube | |:----------|:------|:------|:-------|:--------|:-------|:-------|:--------| | -10.9566 | 0.338 | 0.385 | 0.5608 | -0.2444 | 0.0443 | 0.0047 | -0.0256 |

Metric Importance in Each Algorithm and Ensemble

Each column sums to approximately 100, allowing for rounding (values describe relative contribution to the model).

PC1 = scores on 1st principal component extracted, ...

Note: Importance is unavailable for support vector machines when PCA-based pre-processing is used (so all values for svm are 0).

Coh-Metrix Model 1f

This model used principal component scores from 7 min narrative writing samples in spring [@Mercer2019].

Algorithm Weightings in Ensemble

Abbreviations: all = ensemble model gbm = stochastic gradient boosted trees pls = partial least squares regression svm = support vector machines enet = elastic net regression rf = random forest regression mars = bagged multivariate adaptive regression splines cube = cubist regression

The table below presents the linear weightings of each algorithm for the ensemble model.

| Intercept | gbm | pls | svm | enet | rf | mars | cube | |:----------|:-------|:-------|:-------|:--------|:--------|:------|:--------| | -16.5845 | 0.1071 | 0.5091 | 0.6984 | -0.2708 | -0.0323 | 0.036 | -0.0221 |

Metric Importance in Each Algorithm and Ensemble

Each column sums to approximately 100, allowing for rounding (values describe relative contribution to the model).

PC1 = scores on 1st principal component extracted, ...

Note: Importance is unavailable for support vector machines when PCA-based pre-processing is used (so all values for svm are 0).

Coh-Metrix Model 2 {#cohmetrix-model-2}

General Description

Coh-Metrix Model 2 is a simplified version of Model 1. Model 2 is recommended for use over Model 1.

Coh-Metrix Model 2 is an ensemble (formed by averaging predicted quality scores) of the three sub-models described below.

Highly correlated Coh-Metrix metrics (r > |.90|) were excluded during pre-processing (see section on Scoring Model Development for more details).

All of these models used Coh-Metrix scores on 7 min narrative writing samples ("I once had a magic pencil and ...") from students in the fall, winter, and spring of Grades 2-5 [@Mercer2019] to predict holistic writing quality on the samples (elo ratings calculated from paired comparisons). More details on the sample are available in [@Mercer2019].

Coh-Metrix Model 2a

This model was trained on fall data in [@Mercer2019].

Algorithm Weightings in Ensemble

Abbreviations: all = ensemble model pls = partial least squares regression rf = random forest regression mars = bagged multivariate adaptive regression splines gbm = stochastic gradient boosted trees svm = support vector machines * cube = cubist regression

The table below presents the linear weightings of each algorithm for the ensemble model.

| Intercept | pls | rf | mars | gbm | svm | cube | |:----------|:-------|:-------|:-------|:-------|:------|:-------| | -11.0081 | 0.1741 | 0.0413 | 0.1875 | 0.2353 | 0.206 | 0.2108 |

Coh-Metrix Model 3 {#cohmetrix-model-3}

General Description

Coh-Metrix Model 3, recommended for current use, is an ensemble (formed by averaging predicted quality scores) of three genre-specific models, detailed below.

The models were trained on Coh-Metrix scores from 15 min narrative, expository, and persuasive writing samples from students in Grades 2-5 to predict holistic writing quality on the samples (theta scores calculated from paired comparisons).

Highly correlated CohMetrix metrics (r > |.90|) were excluded during pre-processing (see section on Scoring Model Development for more details).

More details on the sample will be provided once peer review is complete on the main study using this model.

Automated Written Expression CBM (aWE-CBM) Model 1 {#awecbm-model-1}

General Description

Total Words Written (TWW) scores are generated directly from the GAMET word count score. Words Spelled Correctly (WSC) scores are generated by subtracting the GAMET misspelling score from the GAMET word count score.

Correct Word Sequences (CWS) and Correct Minus Incorrect Word Sequences (CIWS) scores are based on ensemble models originally trained to predict CBM scores on 7 min narrative writing samples ("I once had a magic pencil and ...") from students in the fall, winter, and spring of Grades 2-5 [@Mercer2019]. More details on the sample are available in [@Mercer2019].

The CWS and CIWS models are detailed below (from Mercer et al., 2021).

Note. The weightings sum to 100; thus, they can be viewed as the percentage contribution of each metric to the predicted scores. Overall = the ensemble model of all algorithms, GBM = stochastic gradient boosted regression trees, SVM = support vector machines (radial kernel), ENET = elastic net regression, MARS = bagged multivariate adaptive regression splines. The following regression equation was used to weight the algorithms in the CWS ensemble model: .162 + .074 * GBM + .281 * SVM + .001 * ENET + .642 * MARS.
