Background:

Cognitive Diagnostic Assessment (CDA) utilizes clustering analysis to group examinees.
Existing methods include nonparametric methods, K-means, and hierarchical clustering.
There is a need for advanced clustering techniques in CDA.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a spectral clustering algorithm (SCA) for examinee classification in CDA.
To compare the classification accuracy of SCA against established methods.
To evaluate the practical applicability of SCA using real data.

Main Methods:

Spectral Clustering Algorithm (SCA) applied to examinee response data.
Comparative analysis with K-means, G-DINA model, and reduced cognitive diagnostic models.
Simulation studies and real data analysis for validation.

Main Results:

SCA shows promising classification accuracy in simulation studies.
The algorithm's feasibility is confirmed through real data analysis.
SCA offers a viable alternative for attribute-homogeneous grouping in CDA.

Conclusions:

Spectral clustering is an effective approach for examinee classification in CDA.
SCA provides a competitive and feasible method for cognitive diagnosis.
Further research directions in SCA for CDA are proposed.
