Obtain Heise-Bohrnstedt's Omega (another factor analysis reliability)

Description

Heise-Bohrnstedt's (1970) Omega is an factor analysis (FA) reliability. This formula is different from the FA reliability we use today and yields a larger value (Cho, in press). McDonald (1999) referred to all FA reliability as omega, and capitalized omega was used to distinguish it from McDonald's omega.
