Bayesrel - Bayesian Reliability Estimation
Functionality for reliability estimates. For
'unidimensional' tests: Coefficient alpha, 'Guttman's'
lambda-2/-4/-6, the Greatest lower bound and coefficient
omega_u ('unidimensional') in a Bayesian and a frequentist
version. For multidimensional tests: omega_t (total) and
omega_h (hierarchical). The results include confidence and
credible intervals, the probability of a coefficient being
larger than a cutoff, and a check for the factor models,
necessary for the omega coefficients. The method for the
Bayesian 'unidimensional' estimates, except for omega_u, is
sampling from the posterior inverse 'Wishart' for the
covariance matrix based measures (see 'Murphy', 2007,
<https://groups.seas.harvard.edu/courses/cs281/papers/murphy-2007.pdf>.
The Bayesian omegas (u, t, and h) are obtained by 'Gibbs'
sampling from the conditional posterior distributions of (1)
the single factor model, (2) the second-order factor model, (3)
the bi-factor model, (4) the correlated factor model ('Lee',
2007,
<https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9780470024737>).
