Fraction Subtraction Q-Matrix
Description
The Q-Matrix corresponding to Tatsuoka (1984) fraction subtraction data set.
Usage
data(fraction.subtraction.qmatrix)
Format
The fraction.subtraction.qmatrix data frame consists of $J=20$
rows and $K=8$ columns, specifying the attributes that are believed to be
involved in solving the items. Each row in the data frame represents an item
and the entries in the row indicate whether an attribute is needed to master
the item (denoted by a "1") or not (denoted by a "0"). The attributes for the
fraction subtraction data set are the following:
alpha1- convert a whole number to a fraction,
alpha2- separate a whole number from a fraction,
alpha3- simplify before subtracting,
alpha4- find a common denominator,
alpha5- borrow from whole number part,
alpha6- column borrow to subtract the second numerator from the first,
alpha7- subtract numerators,
alpha8- reduce answers to simplest form.
