Modeling Person-Specific Development of Math Skills in Continuous Time : New Evidence for Mutualism / Lu Ou, Abe D. Hofman and Vanessa R. Simmering.
In this study, we fitted a mixed-effects nonlinear continuous-time mutualism model of skill development proposed by van der Maas et al. (2006) to naturally collected irregularly spaced time series data from an online adaptive practice system for mathematics called Math Garden. Results showed that th...

| Summary: | In this study, we fitted a mixed-effects nonlinear continuous-time mutualism model of skill development proposed by van der Maas et al. (2006) to naturally collected irregularly spaced time series data from an online adaptive practice system for mathematics called Math Garden. Results showed that the mutualism model provided a better fit to the data than a g-factor model. The paper illustrates continuous-time modeling of irregularly-spaced multivariate time series data that are increasingly prevalent in modern learning systems.
