Parameter Value Analysis

Several numeric and text based parameters are elicited during the construction of a Knowledge Structure map. Numeric parameters are given value during interview by the adjustment of sliders. The numeric parameters used in this study are defined on the parameters page.

This page considers how parameters have been assigned to all of the knowledge nodes on the map. The number of knowledge nodes elicited for this map was 104 so the number that parameters have been provided for is one less that this, 103 (excluding the knowledge focus node). A series of simple bar charts show how values for parameters, 0--10, have been assigned for all of the knowledge nodes on the map. Each bar chart will have 11 bars, one each for 0--10 (inclusive). Each bar shows how many knowledge nodes were given a specific parameter value. Therefore if 20 knowledge nodes were given the value 5 then the bar for 5 would be 20 in length.
