LTCDM Package Updates
Version 1.1.0 - 2025-05-17
New Features
- Added a new method for single time-point analyses (cross-sectional
data), which enables researchers to investigate how the covariates are
associated with attribute mastery. The steps involved in the three-step
approach are: (1) fitting a CDM, (2) assigning examinees to latent
classes and computing the CEPs, and (3) estimating the logistic
regression model with the CEPs. This method was proposed in Iaconangelo
(2017) and was adopted in a cross-sectional analysis of digital literacy
assessment data in Liang et al (2021) <doi:
10.1016/j.chb.2021.106850>. References: Iaconangelo, C. (2017). Uses
of classification error probabilities in the three-step approach to
estimating cognitive diagnosis models (Doctoral dissertation).
