 +==== Discussion ====
  
 +As Sellers found in her research, the results obtained through q-matrix analysis seem to describe relationships among variables in interpretable ways. Factor analysis and principal components analysis, on the other hand, do not readily offer interpretable results.
  
-((see Ham85 for discussion of item-response theory))+Later researchers found that, although the q-matrix model was good way to compare student data to a concept model, expert-constructed q-matrices did not correspond to student data any better than random q-matrices did.
  
 +The findings in Brewer'​s previous research, which found that the factor analysis method performed poorly in comparison with the q-matrix method when fewer observations were available.
