This page lists the statistical fields that can be calculated and retrieved using Item analysis. Specify one or more of these fields when initialising your report dataset using Data API's SET /reports/datasets endpoint.
Question Fields
These fields can be calculated for every Question in the dataset. Some fields are only available in a specific dataset type.
| item_position |
The Item's position in the Activity. This will be empty unless the the Item is in the same position in all analyzed sessions. Only available in |
|---|---|
| item_reference | The reference of the Item that contains the Question. |
| organisation_id |
The Item's source organization. This allows to disambiguate Items with the same reference found in multiple Item banks. |
| question_number | The number of the Question within its Item. For example, the 2nd Question on an Item will have Question number 2. |
| question_reference | The reference of the Question. |
| count_sessions |
The number of times this Question has appeared in a session. |
| count_attempted | The number of times this Question has been attempted by a user. |
| p_value | The average relative score of the Question, where relative score is defined as score/max_score. For unattempted Questions, a zero score is assumed. Ranges from 0 to 1. |
| stddev_p_value | Standard deviation of p_value. |
| p_value_if_attempted | The average relative score of the Question, where relative score is defined as score/max_score. Unattempted Questions are not included in the calculation. Ranges from 0 to 1 |
| stddev_p_value_if_attempted | Standard deviation of p_value_if_attempted. |
| discrimination_index |
Measures how well a user's overall score correlates with their score on this Question. Ranges from Calculated by comparing the We first calculate the top and bottom 27th percentile of the overall Activity scores across the whole population. We then select users for the top group if their overall score is greater than or equal to the top 27th percentile score, using the same logic to select the bottom group. We then calculate the Only available in |
