Quick Start
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from omegapy import reliability_analysis
correlations_matrix = pd.DataFrame(np.matrix([[1., 0.483, 0.34, 0.18, 0.277, 0.257, -0.074, 0.212, 0.226],\
[0.483, 1., 0.624, 0.26, 0.433, 0.301, -0.028, 0.362, 0.236],\
[0.34, 0.624, 1., 0.24, 0.376, 0.244, 0.233, 0.577, 0.352],\
[0.18, 0.26, 0.24, 1., 0.534, 0.654, 0.165, 0.411, 0.306],\
[0.277, 0.433, 0.376, 0.534, 1., 0.609, 0.041, 0.3, 0.239],\
[0.257, 0.301, 0.244, 0.654, 0.609, 1., 0.133, 0.399, 0.32],\
[-0.074, -0.028, 0.233, 0.165, 0.041, 0.133, 1., 0.346, 0.206],\
[0.212, 0.362, 0.577, 0.411, 0.3, 0.399, 0.346, 1., 0.457],\
[0.226, 0.236, 0.352, 0.306, 0.239, 0.32, 0.206, 0.457, 1.]]))
reliability_report = reliability_analysis(correlations_matrix=correlations_matrix)
reliability_report.fit()
print('here omega Hierarchical: ',reliability_report.omega_hierarchical)
print('here Omega Hierarchical infinite or asymptotic: ',reliability_report.omega_hierarchical_asymptotic)
print('here Omega Total',reliability_report.omega_total)
print('here Alpha Cronbach total',reliability_report.alpha_cronbach)
Context
It is common to try check the reliability, i.e.: the consistency of a measure, particular in psychometrics and surveys analysis.
R has packages for this kind of analysis available, such us psychby Revelle (2017). python goes behind on this. The closes are factor-analyser and Pingouin. As I write this there is a gap in the market since none of the above libraries currently implement any omega related reliability measure. Although Pingouin implements Cronbach's alpha
