In statpsych: Statistical Methods for Psychologists

Confidence interval for a Cronbach reliability

Description

Computes a confidence interval for a population Cronbach reliability. The point estimate of Cronbach's reliability assumes essentially tau-equivalent measurements and this confidence interval assumes parallel measurements.

Usage

ci.cronbach(alpha, rel, r, n)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
rel	sample value of Cronbach's reliability
r	number of measurements (items, raters, etc.)
n	sample size

Value

Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:

• LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

• UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
