composite_rel_matrix | R Documentation |
This function computes the reliability of a variable that is a weighted or unweighted composite of other variables.
composite_rel_matrix(rel_vec, r_mat, sd_vec, wt_vec = rep(1, length(rel_vec)))
rel_vec |
Vector of reliabilities associated with variables in the composite to be formed. |
r_mat |
Correlation matrix from which the composite is to be computed. |
sd_vec |
Vector of standard deviations associated with variables in the composite to be formed. |
wt_vec |
Weights to be used in forming the composite (by default, all variables receive equal weight). |
This function treats measure-specific variance as reliable.
The Mosier composite formula is computed as:
rel_composite = (t(wt^2) (rel_vec * var_vec) + S - var_sum) / (t(wt) S wt)
where rel_composite is a composite reliability estimate, rel_vec is a vector of reliability estimates, wt is a vector of weights, S is a covariance matrix, and var_vec is a vector of variances (i.e., the diagonal elements of S).
The estimated reliability of the composite variable.
