  <dc:title>The Q-Matrix Validation Methods Framework</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package Qval version 1.2.4</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provide a variety of Q-matrix validation methods for the generalized
    cognitive diagnosis models, including the method based on the generalized
    deterministic input, noisy, and gate model (G-DINA) by de la Torre (2011)
    &lt;DOI:10.1007/s11336-011-9207-7&gt; discrimination index (the GDI method) by
    de la Torre and Chiu (2016) &lt;DOI:10.1007/s11336-015-9467-8&gt;, the Hull method
    by Najera et al. (2021) &lt;DOI:10.1111/bmsp.12228&gt;, the stepwise Wald test method
    (the Wald method) by Ma and de la Torre (2020) &lt;DOI:10.1111/bmsp.12156&gt;, the
    multiple logistic regression‑based Q‑matrix validation method (the MLR-B method)
    by Tu et al. (2022) &lt;DOI:10.3758/s13428-022-01880-x&gt;, the beta method based on
    signal detection theory by Li and Chen (2024) &lt;DOI:10.1111/bmsp.12371&gt; and
    Q-matrix validation based on relative fit index by Chen et al. (2013)
    &lt;DOI:10.1111/j.1745-3984.2012.00185.x&gt;. Different research methods and iterative
    procedures during Q-matrix validating are available
