Computes an ECV index for all factors which can be interpreted as the proportion of common
variance of the items in each specific factor which is due to the general factor;
ECV_GS
should be read 'ECV of the general factor with respect to a specific
factor.' Here, ECV is
computed only with respect to the items of a specific factor using the general factor
loadings in the numerator;
Stucky and Edelen (2015, p. 201) refer to this index as the 'within-domain ECV' for the
specific factor. In the
Excel version of the bifactor indices calculator (Dueber, 2017), this index is not computed.

Lambda |
is a matrix of factor loadings. Be sure that all factors have the same variance before calling this function. |
ECV_GS
is called by bifactorIndices
and the various convenience functions
for exploratory models and/or Mplus output,
which are the only functions in this package intended for casual users.
