On the Consistency of Q-Matrix Estimation: A Commentary

Author

Listed:
  • Jingchen Liu

    (Columbia University)

Abstract

This commentary concerns the theoretical properties of the estimation procedure in “A General Method of Empirical Q-matrix Validation” by Jimmy de la Torre and Chia-Yi Chiu. It raises the consistency issue of the estimator, proposes some modifications to it, and also makes some conjectures.
