i want to calculate cronbachs alpha for my df. my df has some missing values so that there are only 23 out of 56 complete cases. if i run alpha on only the complete cases, i get a value of .79 and if i run it on the whole df, I get .82. My question is: what does alpha do with those missing values, if i include the incomplete cases? are they imputed in some way?
