Hidden Markov Models
• Predictive Modeling• More simplistic than nodes• Described using five states
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs)
Item Response Theory
• Separates latent abilities from item characteristics.
• Model:

logP(xj=1P(xj=0 ⎛ ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎞
⎠ ⎟ ⎟=θ−bj
Laboratory Problems
• Separation• Hazmat• TLC• Finding Carbons Neighbors• Spectra Analysis

Implementation
• Second semester organic laboratory.• Used as part of the laboratory practical (50%)• Students are told to answer 4 cases correctly with a guessing penalty.
