Taagepera | R Documentation |
Taagepera et al. (1997) applied knowledge space theory to specific science problems. The density test was administered to 2060 students, the conservation of matter test to 1620 students. A subtest of five items each is included here. The response frequencies were reconstructed from histograms in the paper.
data(Taagepera)
Two lists, each consisting of two components:
density97
a list with components K
and N.R
for
the density test.
matter97
a list with components K
and N.R
for
the conservation of matter test.
K
a state-by-problem indicator matrix representing the hypothetical knowledge structure. An element is one if the problem is contained in the state, and else zero.
N.R
a named numeric vector. The names denote response patterns, the values denote their frequencies.
