simcdm

The goal of simcdm is to provide flexible ways to simulate data under cognitive diagnostic models.

Installation

You can install simcdm from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("tmsalab/simcdm")

Usage

To use simcdm, load the package using:

library("simcdm")

Overview

There are four distinct sets of functions within the package:

• Attributes: attribute_classes(), attribute_bijection(), attribute_inv_bijection(), and sim_subject_attributes().
• Matrix: sim_q_matrix() and sim_eta_matrix()
• Deterministic Input, Noisy And Gate (DINA): sim_dina_items() and sim_dina_attributes()
• reduced Reparameterized Unified Model (rRUM): sim_rrum_items()

Functions that use random numbers to simulate values are named with the prefix of sim_*(). This is done to allow for functions to be quickly identified and used through autocomplete inside of the RStudio IDE or VS Code. At a later time, the attribute_*() will likely be moved to a different package.

For more details, please see the package vignettes:

• Overview of simcdm
• Using simcdm in R packages

Authors

James Joseph Balamuta and Steven Andrew Culpepper with contributions from Aaron Hudson.
