Obtain bottom-up approach multidimensional reliability estimates

Description

Among several approaches to estimating multidimensional reliability, these estimators use a bottom-up approach. That is, the test score is divided into sub-dimensional or sub-test scores. Multidimensional reliability is obtained by estimating the reliability of each subtest score and combining them. Different estimates can be obtained depending on how each subtest reliability is estimated. These estimators use the general formula first proposed by Jum Nunnally.

Usage

nunnally(x, until, method = "joreskog", print = TRUE)

Arguments

x

observed item scores or their covariances

until

The number of items up to the first sub-construct

method

There are three options. joreskog, mu, kaisercaffrey. mu uses mu4.

print

If TRUE, the result is printed to the screen.

Value

a bifactor reliability estimate
