unitaryAlpha: unitary alpha

In ANOPA: Analyses of Proportions using Anscombe Transform

unitary alpha

Description

The function unitaryAlpha() computes the unitary alpha (\insertCitelc23ANOPA). This quantity is a novel way to compute correlation in a matrix where each column is a measure and each line, a subject. This measure is based on Cronbach's alpha (which could be labeled a 'global alpha').

Usage

unitaryAlpha( m )

Arguments

m	A data matrix for a group of observations.

Details

This measure is derived from Cronbach's measure of reliability as shown by \insertCitelc23;textualANOPA.

Value

A measure of correlation between -1 and +1.

Examples

# Generate a random matrix (here binary entries)
set.seed(42)
N <- M <- 10
m <- matrix( runif(N*M), N, M)

# compute the unitary alpha from that random matrix
unitaryAlpha(m)
