Abstract
Cognitive diagnosis models have become popular in educational assessment and are used to provide more individualized feedback about a student's specific strengths and weaknesses than traditional total scores. However, if the testing data are contaminated by certain biases or aberrant response patterns, such predictions may not be accurate. The current research objective is to develop a new person-fit method that is based on machine learning and improves the functionality of existing person-fit methods. Various simulations were designed under three aberrant conditions: cheating, sleeping and random guessing. Simulation results showed that the new method was more powerful and effective than previous methods, especially for short-length tests.
期刊介绍：
The British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology publishes articles relating to areas of psychology which have a greater mathematical or statistical aspect of their argument than is usually acceptable to other journals including:
• mathematical psychology
• statistics
• psychometrics
• decision making
• psychophysics
• classification
• relevant areas of mathematics, computing and computer software
These include articles that address substantitive psychological issues or that develop and extend techniques useful to psychologists. New models for psychological processes, new approaches to existing data, critiques of existing models and improved algorithms for estimating the parameters of a model are examples of articles which may be favoured.
