Overview

About

Maintained by Gaurav SoodFirst published 2016-02-085 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides tools to adjust estimates of learning for guessing-related bias in educational and survey research. Implements standard guessing correction methods and latent class models that leverage informative pre-post test transitions to account for guessing behavior. The package helps researchers obtain more accurate estimates of actual learning when respondents may guess on closed-ended knowledge items. For theoretical background and empirical validation, see Cor and Sood (2016) https://gsood.com/research/papers/guess.pdf.
