bootstrap {coefficientalpha}

Bootstrap se and CI for alpha and omega

Description

Usage

bootstrap(y, type="omega", alpha=.95, nboot=1000, ci="bc", plot=FALSE, 
varphi=0, complete=FALSE, auxiliary=NULL, silent=FALSE)

Arguments

y

Data

type

omega: coefficient omega. Otherwise, coefficient alpha.
