Description
Summary:To further solve the problems of storage bottlenecks and excessive calculation time when calculating estimators under two different formats of massive longitudinal data, an examination data analysis and evaluation method based on an improved linear mixed-effects model is proposed in this paper. First, a three-step estimation method is proposed to improve the parameters of the linear-effects model, avoiding the complicated iterative steps of maximum likelihood estimation. Second, we perform spectral clustering based on test data on the basis of defining data attributes and basic evaluation rules. Finally, based on cloud technology, a cross-regional, multiuser educational examination big data analysis and evaluation service platform is developed for evaluating the proposed method. Experimental results have shown that the proposed model can not only effectively improve the efficiency of test data acquisition and storage but also reduce the computational burden and the memory usage, solve the problem of insufficient memory, and increase the calculation speed.
