Using JAGS for Bayesian Cognitive Diagnosis Modeling: A Tutorial
Zhan, Peida; Jiao, Hong; Man, Kaiwen; Wang, Lijun
Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, v44 n4 p473-503 Aug 2019
In this article, we systematically introduce the just another Gibbs sampler (JAGS) software program to fit common Bayesian cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) including the deterministic inputs, noisy "and" gate model; the deterministic inputs, noisy "or" gate model; the linear logistic model; the reduced reparameterized unified model; and the log-linear CDM (LCDM). Further, we introduce the unstructured latent structural model and the higher order latent structural model. We also show how to extend these models to consider polytomous attributes, the testlet effect, and longitudinal diagnosis. Finally, we present an empirical example as a tutorial to illustrate how to use JAGS codes in R.
