Omega_H {BifactorIndicesCalculator}

OmegaH

Description

Computes hierarchical omega reliability estimate for all factors as described in Rodriguez, Reise, and Haviland (2016).

Usage

Omega_H(Lambda, Theta)

Arguments

Lambda

is a matrix of factor loadings

Theta

is a vector of indicator error variances

Details

Omega_H is called by bifactorIndices and the various convenience functions for exploratory models and/or Mplus output, which are the only functions in this package intended for casual users.

Value

A numeric, the omega reliability estimate for all factors.
