empirical_rxx: Function to calculate the empirical (marginal) reliability

In philchalmers/mirt: Multidimensional Item Response Theory

Function to calculate the empirical (marginal) reliability

Description

Given secondary latent trait estimates and their associated standard errors returned from fscores, compute the empirical reliability.

Usage

empirical_rxx(Theta_SE, T_as_X = FALSE)

Arguments

Theta_SE	a matrix of latent trait estimates returned from fscores with the options full.scores = TRUE and full.scores.SE = TRUE
T_as_X	logical; should the observed variance be equal to var(X) = var(T) + E(E^2) or var(X) = var(T) when computing empirical reliability estimates? Default (FALSE) uses the former
