Deterministic Input, Noisy Mixed Modeling for Identifying Coexisting Condensation Rules in Cognitive Diagnostic Assessments.

ABSTRACT: In cognitive diagnosis models, the condensation rule describes the logical relationship between the required attributes and the item response, reflecting an explicit assumption about respondents' cognitive processes to solve problems. Multiple condensation rules may apply to an item simultaneously, indicating that respondents should use multiple cognitive processes with different weights to identify the correct response. Coexisting condensation rules reflect the complexity of cognitive processes utilized in problem solving and the fact that respondents' cognitive processes in determining item responses may be inconsistent with the expert-designed condensation rule. This study evaluated the proposed deterministic input with a noisy mixed (DINMix) model to identify coexisting condensation ru
