Abstract

This chapter provides an introduction to the actual implementation, i.e. the mpia R package, its class system as well as key data manipulation and visualization methods. It provides the instruments to automatically represent and further analyse the conceptual development evident from the performance of learners, while at the same time introducing re-representation mechanisms for visual analytics to guide and support decision-making about and during learning. Use case and activity diagrams of an idealized analysis workflow foster understanding of how MPIA analysis processes can be conducted.

Footnotes
1
The generic registers a function to be called if the arguments handed over match the so-called signature of the method. This way, for example, different ‘print’ function implementations can be called for objects of class ‘numeric’ and class ‘character, while to the user a single ‘print()’ generic function is exposed.
