In statpsych: Statistical Methods for Psychologists

Confidence interval for a difference in Cronbach reliabilities in a 2-group design

Description

Computes a confidence interval for a difference in population Cronbach reliability coefficicents in a 2-group design. The number of measurements (e.g., items or raters) used in each group need not be equal.

Usage

ci.cronbach2(alpha, rel1, rel2, r1, r2, n1, n2)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
rel1	estimated Cronbach reliablity for group 1
rel2	estimated Cronbach reliablity for group 2
r1	number of measurements used in group 1
r2	number of measurements used in group 2
n1	sample size for group 1
n2	sample size for group 2

Value

Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:

• Estimate - estimated reliability difference

• LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

• UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
