Bootstrap the confidence interval for reliability coefficient

Description

Obtain the confidence interval for reliability coefficient with bootstrap

Usage

ci.reliability.bs(data, model = "Congeneric", type = "Factor Analytic", conf.level = 0.95, B = 100, ...)

Arguments

data the data set that the reliability coefficient is obtained from
model the type of measurement model (e.g., "parallel items", "true-score equivalent", or "congeneric model") for a homogeneous single common factor test
type the type of method to base the formation of the confidence interval on, either the "Factor Analytic" (McDonald, 1999) or "Normal Theory" (van Zyl, Neudecker, & Nel, 2000)
conf.level the confidence level (i.e., 1-Type I error rate)
B The number of bootstrap replicates
... Any other arguments for the boot function

Value

Percentile.Method Confidence interval obtained with the percentile bootstrap method
BCa.Method confidence interval obtained with the bias-correct and accelerated bootstrap method
