Abstract: Cognitive Diagnosis Models (CDMs) are useful statistical tools in cognitive diagnosis assessment. However, as many other latent variable models, the CDMs often suffer from the non-identifiability issue. This work gives the sufficient and necessary condition for the identifiability of the basic DINA model, which not only addresses the open problem in Xu and Zhang (2016, Psychomatrika, 81:625-649) on the minimal requirement for the identifiability, but also sheds light on the study of more general CDMs, which often cover the DINA as a submodel. Moreover, we show the identifiability condition ensures the consistent estimation of the model parameters. From a practical perspective, the identifiability condition only depends on the Q-matrix structure and is easy to verify, which would provide a guideline for designing statistically valid and estimable cognitive diagnosis tests.
