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!!!
