Dear R-help, I try to estimate alpha for a factor that loads onto two items, using the psych-package (newest version). The data is from the boston housing data set.
The problem I face can be reproduced by the following approximation of the correlation matrix: library("psych") tt <- cbind(c(1,0.58) , c(0.58,1)) colnames(tt) = rownames(tt) = list("V1" , "V2") alpha(tt) R Version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) 64 Bit - Platform: Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit I have tried on two different Windows computers - same warning messages: In matrix(unlist(drop.item), ncol = 6, byrow = TRUE) : data length [10] is not a sub-multiple or multiple of the number of columns [6] What is the reason for the warning? Is it to be taken seriously? How can I avoid this warning? I would be very thankful for any ideas or advice! Thank you a lot in advance!!!
