Description

This function estimates the reliability coeffcient based on Guttman's Lambda_2.

Usage

1

Arguments

x

is a data frame or matrix of the keyed items (0/1)

Details

This computation is based on Guttman's second lower bound for reliability (Guttman, 1945).

Value

Returns a list with the estimate (l2), lower (ll) and upper (ul) confidence limits, and standard error of measurment (sem)
