Parameter Estimation in Probabilistic Knowledge Structures
This app illustrates parameter estimation in probabilistic knowledge
structures. After a short overview of three estimation procedures, the user
can enter observed response frequencies and the assumed knowledge structure
for four items. Parameters are then estimated, using the Maximum Likelihood
(ML), Minimum Discrepancy (MD) and MDML method. The app also tells the user
whether the entered knowledge structure is valid and whether the estimation
procedure converged and yielded identifiable parameter estimates.
