The author does not differentiate test data analysis from data engineering and information visualization. This monograph introduces the following methods of engineering or processing test data, including the latest machine learning techniques: classical test theory (CTT), item response theory (IRT), latent class analysis (LCA), latent rank analysis (LRA), biclustering (co-clustering), and Bayesian network model (BNM). CTT and IRT are methods for analyzing test data and evaluating students’ abilities on a continuous scale. LCA and LRA assess examinees by classifying them into nominal and ordinal clusters, respectively, where the adequate number of clusters is estimated from the data. Biclustering classifies examinees into groups (latent clusters) while classifying items into fields (factors). Particularly, the infinite relational model discussed in this book is a biclustering method feasible under the condition that neither the number of groups nor the number of fields is known beforehand. Additionally, the local dependence LRA, local dependence biclustering, and bicluster network model are methods that search and visualize inter-item (or inter-field) network structure using the mechanism of BNM. As this book offers a new perspective on test data analysis methods, it is certain to widen readers’ perspective on test data analysis. .Behaviormetrics: Quantitative Approaches to Human Behavior,2524-4035 ;13Social sciencesStatistical methodsStatisticsPolitical planningPsychometricsMachine learningStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public PolicyStatistical Theory and MethodsPublic PolicyPsychometricsMachine LearningEstadística bayesianathubAnàlisi de conglomeratsthubMineria de dadesthubTests i proves en educacióthubProcessament de dadesthubVisualització de la informacióthubLlibres electrònicsthubSocial sciencesStatistical methods.Statistics.Political planning.Psychometrics.Machine learning.Statistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy.Statistical Theory and Methods.Public Policy.Psychometrics.Machine Learning.Estadística bayesianaAnàlisi de conglomeratsMineria de dadesTests i proves en educacióProcessament de dadesVisualització de la informació519.542Shojima Kojiro1253368MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ996485661803316Test Data Engineering2905925UNISA
