init_constraint_matrices

Creates constraint matrices for monotonicity constraints across items.

A set of psychometric tools for cognitive diagnosis modeling based on the generalized deterministic inputs, noisy and gate (G-DINA) model by de la Torre (2011) <DOI:10.1007/s11336-011-9207-7> and its extensions, including the sequential G-DINA model by Ma and de la Torre (2016) <DOI:10.1111/bmsp.12070> for polytomous responses, and the polytomous G-DINA model by Chen and de la Torre <DOI:10.1177/0146621613479818> for polytomous attributes. Joint attribute distribution can be independent, saturated, higher-order, loglinear smoothed or structured. Q-matrix validation, item and model fit statistics, model comparison at test and item level and differential item functioning can also be conducted. A graphical user interface is also provided. For tutorials, please check Ma and de la Torre (2020) <DOI:10.18637/jss.v093.i14>, Ma and de la Torre (2019) <DOI:10.1111/emip.12262>, Ma (2019) <DOI:10.1007/978-3-030-05584-4_29> and de la Torre and Akbay (2019).
