Obtain second-order factor reliability estimates of two-dimensional data

Description

Obtain second-order factor reliability estimates of two-dimensional data. It is a kind of multidimensional CFA reliability, and it is the reliability derived from the second-order factor model. Items should be grouped by each sub-dimension. For example, the first dimension consists of the first item through the until item.

Usage

second_order(x, nobs = NULL, until, print = TRUE)

Arguments

x

observed item scores or their covariances

nobs

number of observations (i.e., sample size)

until

The number of items up to the first sub-construct

print

If TRUE, the result is printed to the screen.

Value

a second-order factor reliability estimate
