Methods and systems for evaluating the fit of raw data to model data are
disclosed. Relationships between an assessment item and a tested
attribute, responses from examinees to an assessment item, mastery states
for an examinee for a tested attribute, one or more parameters based on
expected assessment item performance, estimates for non-tested attributes
for each examinee, likelihoods that an examinee that has mastered
attributes pertaining to an assessment item will answer the item
correctly, likelihoods that an examinee that has not mastered an
attribute for an assessment item will answer the item correctly, and/or
other variables may be received. For each item and/or for each examinee,
a determination of a class for the examinee and/or item may be
determined. Statistics may also be generated for each examinee, each
item, an examination and/or any other basis.
