 How to automatically determine concepts? Using covariance matrix. Number of concepts should be smaller than number of questions. Still, this methos has proven to be less fault tollerant. How to automatically determine concepts? Using covariance matrix. Number of concepts should be smaller than number of questions.

 +==== Q-matrix method ====
 +
 +The q-matrix method is a simple hill-climbing algorithm that creates a matrix ​
 +representing relationships between concepts and questions directly. The algorithm varies ​
 +c, the number of concepts, and the values in the q-matrix, minimizing the total error for 
 +all students for a given set of n questions. To avoid of local minima, each hill-climbing ​
 +search is seeded with different random Q-matrices and the best of these is kept.
