Abstract: The present invention provides a method of doing cognitive diagnosis of mental skills, medical and psychiatric diagnosis of diseases and disorders, and in general the diagnosing of latent properties of a set of objects, usually people, for which multiple pieces of binary (dichotomous) information about the objects are available, for example testing examinees using right/wrong scored test questions. Settings where the present invention can be applied but are not limited to include classrooms at all levels, web-based instruction, corporate in-house training, large scale standardized tests, and medical and psychiatric settings. Uses include but are not limited to individual learner feedback, learner remediation, group level educational assessment, and medical and psychiatric treatment.

Abstract: Methods and systems for evaluating the fit of raw data to model data are disclosed. Relationships between an assessment item and a tested attribute, responses from examinees to an assessment item, mastery states for an examinee for a tested attribute, one or more parameters based on expected assessment item performance, estimates for non-tested attributes for each examinee, likelihoods that an examinee that has mastered attributes pertaining to an assessment item will answer the item correctly, likelihoods that an examinee that has not mastered an attribute for an assessment item will answer the item correctly, and/or other variables may be received. For each item and/or for each examinee, a determination of a class for the examinee and/or item may be determined. Statistics may also be generated for each examinee, each item, an examination and/or any other basis.
