+ | As Sellers found in her research, the results obtained through q-matrix analysis seem to describe relationships among variables in interpretable ways. Factor analysis and principal components analysis, on the other hand, do not readily offer interpretable results. | ||
- | ((see Ham85 for a discussion of item-response theory)) | + | Later researchers found that, although the q-matrix model was a good way to compare student data to a concept model, expert-constructed q-matrices did not correspond to student data any better than random q-matrices did. |
+ | The findings in Brewer's previous research, which found that the factor analysis method performed poorly in comparison with the q-matrix method when fewer observations were available. | ||
