  <dc:title>Computerized Adaptive Testing with Cognitive Diagnostic Models</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package cdCAT version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>A session-based engine for cognitive diagnostic computerized
    adaptive testing (CD-CAT), the application of adaptive testing to
    cognitive diagnosis models. Three models are supported: the deterministic
    inputs, noisy "and" gate (DINA), the deterministic inputs, noisy "or"
    gate (DINO), and the generalized DINA (GDINA) model. Item selection
    criteria include Kullback-Leibler (KL) information, posterior-weighted
    Kullback-Leibler (PWKL), modified posterior-weighted Kullback-Leibler
    (MPWKL), and Shannon entropy (SHE). Latent attribute profiles are
    estimated by maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), maximum a posteriori
    (MAP), or expected a posteriori (EAP). Content balancing, item exposure
    control, and shadow testing are configurable through constraint
    functions. The implemented methods follow Cheng (2009)
    &lt;doi:10.1007/s11336-009-9123-2&gt; and de la Torre (2011)
    &lt;doi:10.1007/s11336-011-9207-7&gt;. Designed for real-time, item-by-item
    adaptive applications.</dc:description>
