  <dc:title>Useful Tools for Cognitive Diagnosis Modeling</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package cdmTools version 1.0.6</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides useful tools for cognitive diagnosis modeling (CDM). The package includes functions for empirical Q-matrix estimation and validation, such as the Hull method (Nájera, Sorrel, de la Torre, &amp; Abad, 2021, &lt;doi:10.1111/bmsp.12228&gt;) and the discrete factor loading method (Wang, Song, &amp; Ding, 2018, &lt;doi:10.1007/978-3-319-77249-3_29&gt;). It also contains dimensionality assessment procedures for CDM, including parallel analysis and automated fit comparison as explored in Nájera, Abad, and Sorrel (2021, &lt;doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2021.614470&gt;). Other relevant methods and features for CDM applications, such as the restricted DINA model (Nájera et al., 2023; &lt;doi:10.3102/10769986231158829&gt;), the general nonparametric classification method (Chiu et al., 2018; &lt;doi:10.1007/s11336-017-9595-4&gt;), and corrected estimation of the classification accuracy via multiple imputation (Kreitchmann et al., 2022; &lt;doi:10.3758/s13428-022-01967-5&gt;) are also available. Lastly, the package provides some useful functions for CDM simulation studies, such as random Q-matrix generation and detection of complete/identified Q-matrices.</dc:description>
