function returning observed Cronbach alpha with bootstrap confidence interval around that value

Description

function returning observed Cronbach alpha with bootstrap confidence interval around that value

Usage

getBootCIalpha(
  dat,
  verbose = TRUE,
  na.rm = TRUE,
  nLT20err = TRUE,
  nGT10kerr = TRUE,
  bootReps = 1000,
  conf = 0.95,
  bootCImethod = c("perc", "norm", "basic", "bca")
)

Arguments

dat	data, matrix, data frame or tibble and numeric item data as columns
verbose	logical, if FALSE switches off messages
na.rm	logical which causes function to throw error if there is missing data
nLT20err	logical, throws error if length(na.omit(dat)) < 20, otherwise returns NA for CI
nGT10kerr	logical, throws error if length(na.omit(dat)) > 10k to prevent very long rusn, override with FALSE
bootReps	integer for number of bootstrap replications
conf	numeric confidence interval desired as fraction, e.g. .95
bootCImethod	method of deriving bootstrap CI from "perc", "norm", "basic" or "bca"

Value

list of length 3: obsAlpha, LCLAlpha and UCLAlpha
