Coefficients Alpha , Beta , Omega , and the Glb : Comments on Sijtsma
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are three fundamental problems in Sijtsma (Psychometrika, 2008): (1) contrary to the name, the glb is not the greatest lower bound of reliability but rather is systematically less than ωt (McDonald, Test theory: A unified treatment, Erlbaum, Hillsdale, 1999), (2) we agree with Sijtsma that when considering how well a test measures one concept, α is not appropriate, but recommend ωt rather than the glb, and (3) the end user needs procedures that are readily available in open source software.

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Modal Operator was defined by Atanassov in cite{at3}in 1999. In 2001, cite{at4}, he introduced the generalization of thesemodal operators. After this study, in 2004, Dencheva cite{dencheva} definedsecond extension of these operators. In 2006, the third extension of thesewas defined in cite{at6} by Atanassov. In 2007,cite{gc1}, the authorintroduced a new operator over Intuit...
متن کاملBest Alternatives to Cronbach's Alpha Reliability in Realistic Conditions: Congeneric and Asymmetrical Measurements
The Cronbach's alpha is the most widely used method for estimating internal consistency reliability. This procedure has proved very resistant to the passage of time, even if its limitations are well documented and although there are better options as omega coefficient or the different versions of glb, with obvious advantages especially for applied research in which the ítems differ in quality o...
متن کاملOn characterizations of hyperbolic harmonic Bloch and Besov spaces
We define hyperbolic harmonic $omega$-$alpha$-Bloch space $mathcal{B}_omega^alpha$ in the unit ball $mathbb{B}$ of ${mathbb R}^n$ and characterize it in terms of $$frac{omegabig((1-|x|^2)^{beta}(1-|y|^2)^{alpha-beta}big)|f(x)-f(y)|}{[x,y]^gamma|x-y|^{1-gamma}},$$ where $0leq gammaleq 1$. Similar results are extended to little $omega$-$alpha$-Bloch and Besov spaces. These obtained...
متن کاملInteractive effect of exercise training with ω-3 supplementation on resting levels of TNF-α and IL-10 in Karat Men
Introduction: Perform heavy exercise training, causing a variety of changes including a reduction in performance. Few human studies have been examined of supplemental ω-3 and exercise, then the aim of this study was to study the interactive effect of exercise and ω-3 on resting levels of TNF-α and IL-10 in elite Karate and compared with untrained. Methods: In this quasi-exp...
