data.timss03.G8.su: TIMSS 2003 Mathematics 8th Grade (Su et al., 2013)

Description

This is a dataset with a subset of 23 mathematics items from TIMSS 2003 items used in Su et al. (2013).

Usage

data(data.timss03.G8.su)

format

The data contains scored item responses (data), the Q-matrix (q.matrix) and further item informations (iteminfo). The format is List of 3 $ data :'data.frame': ..$ idstud : num [1:757] 1e+07 1e+07 1e+07 1e+07 1e+07 ... ..$ idbook : num [1:757] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... ..$ M012001 : num [1:757] 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 ... ..$ M012002 : num [1:757] 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 ... ..$ M012004 : num [1:757] 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 ...
