Download or read book Handbook of Diagnostic Classification Models written by Matthias von Davier and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides an overview of major developments around diagnostic classification models (DCMs) with regard to modeling, estimation, model checking, scoring, and applications. It brings together not only the current state of the art, but also the theoretical background and models developed for diagnostic classification. The handbook also offers applications and special topics and practical guidelines how to plan and conduct research studies with the help of DCMs. Commonly used models in educational measurement and psychometrics typically assume a single latent trait or at best a small number of latent variables that are aimed at describing individual differences in observed behavior. While this allows simple rankings of test takers along one or a few dimensions, it does not provide a detailed picture of strengths and weaknesses when assessing complex cognitive skills. DCMs, on the other hand, allow the evaluation of test taker performance relative to a potentially large number of skill domains. Most diagnostic models provide a binary mastery/non-mastery classification for each of the assumed test taker attributes representing these skill domains. Attribute profiles can be used for formative decisions as well as for summative purposes, for example in a multiple cut-off procedure that requires mastery on at least a certain subset of skills. The number of DCMs discussed in the literature and applied to a variety of assessment data has been increasing over the past decades, and their appeal to researchers and practitioners alike continues to grow. These models have been used in English language assessment, international large scale assessments, and for feedback for practice exams in preparation of college admission testing, just to name a few. Nowadays, technology-based assessments provide increasingly rich data on a multitude of skills and allow collection of data with respect to multiple types of behaviors. Diagnostic models can be understood as an ideal match for these types of data collections to provide more in-depth information about test taker skills and behavioral tendencies.

Download or read book New Trends in Software Methodologies Tools and Techniques written by H. Fujita and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2006-10-03 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software is the essential enabler for the new economy and science. It creates new markets and new directions for a more reliable, flexible, and robust society. It empowers the exploration of our world in ever more depth. However, software often falls short behind our expectations. Current software methodologies, tools, and techniques remain expensive and not yet reliable for a highly changeable and evolutionary market. Many approaches have been proven only as case-by-case oriented methods. This book presents a number of new trends and theories in the direction in which we believe software science and engineering may develop to transform the role of software and science in tomorrow’s information society. This publication is an attempt to capture the essence of a new state of art in software science and its supporting technology. Is also aims at identifying the challenges such a technology has to master.

The two events are introduced brie?y below. BPMDS 2010 BPMDS 2010wasthe 11th in a seriesof workshopsthat havesuccessfully served as a forum for raising and discussing new ideas in the area of business process development and support. The BPMDS series has produced 10 workshops from 1998 to 2009. Eight of these workshops, including the last seven (BPMDS 2003–BPMDS 2009) were held in conjunction with CAiSE conferences. The BPMDS workshops focus on topics relating to IT support for business processes, which addresses key issues that are relevant to the continuous development of information systems theory. The continued interest in these topics within the industrial and academic IS communities is re?ected by the success of the last BPMDS workshops and the emergence of new conferences devoted to this theme.

This book was released on 2014-08-25 with total page 743 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Note about this ebook: This ebook exploits many advanced capabilities with images, hypertext, and interactivity and is optimized for EPUB3-compliant book readers, especially Apple's iBooks and browser plugins. These features may not work on all ebook readers. We organize things. We organize information, information about things, and information about information. Organizing is a fundamental issue in many professional fields, but these fields have only limited agreement in how they approach problems of organizing and in what they seek as their solutions. The Discipline of Organizing synthesizes insights from library science, information science, computer science, cognitive science, systems analysis, business, and other disciplines to create an Organizing System for understanding organizing. This framework is robust and forward-looking, enabling effective sharing of insights and design patterns between disciplines that weren’t possible before. The Professional Edition includes new and revised content about the active resources of the "Internet of Things," and how the field of Information Architecture can be viewed as a subset of the discipline of organizing. You’ll find: 600 tagged endnotes that connect to one or more of the contributing disciplines Nearly 60 new pictures and illustrations Links to cross-references and external citations Interactive study guides to test on key points The Professional Edition is ideal for practitioners and as a primary or supplemental text for graduate courses on information organization, content and knowledge management, and digital collections. FOR INSTRUCTORS: Supplemental materials (lecture notes, assignments, exams, etc.) are available at http://disciplineoforganizing.org. FOR STUDENTS: Make sure this is the edition you want to buy. There's a newer one and maybe your instructor has adopted that one instead.

Download or read book Program Comprehension Challenges Detection for Pull Requests with Machine Learning written by Eddie Chiang and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of program comprehension in software development is such that software engineers spend more time, 35% to 70% of their time, understanding code than writing it. With pull requests (PRs) becoming the default development collaboration model, code review is becoming more common. There is a paucity of studies focusing on the challenges concerning program comprehension. This study aims to provide an insight into those challenges during code reviews, and to, specifically, detect comprehension challenges with the application of machine learning (ML) to analyze a large number of GitHub PR review comments more efficiently, and investigate the common causes of their occurrences to serve as suggestions as to the perils to avoid during code reviews. In this context, comprehension challenges are focused on instances when a code reviewer seeks information on the program behavior, the intention of a code change, who has experience with the code, or why the code is implemented a certain way. To evaluate how accurately ML can be used to detect comprehension challenges noted in review comments, an ML classifier was developed with the combination of a linear support vector machine with stochastic gradient descent learning and natural language processing of dialogue act classification, stop words removal, lemmatization, and term frequency-inverse document frequency. To investigate the causes of comprehension challenges, a sample of 748 review comments were analyzed through statistical hypothesis tests, and a content analysis was conducted to compare 384 review comments without comprehension challenges and 384 samples with comprehension challenges. The performance results of the ML classifier showed a 74.3% precision and a 66.7% recall. The quantitative and qualitative analysis showed that the lines-of-code-changed metric made no significant difference to program comprehensibility, and review comments with comprehension challenges were associated more frequently with discussions on bottom-up knowledge. These results suggest that ML can help to detect comprehension challenges and issues and provide analytics to software development teams to support them to prioritize areas of improvement. Furthermore, missing top-down knowledge regarding programming plans is the fundamental reason for many comprehension challenges.
