Method evidence record
Bayesian Cronbach's alpha
Bayesian Cronbach's alpha applies Bayesian inference to estimate the classical internal-consistency coefficient, yielding a full posterior distribution over alpha rather than a single point estimate. This allows researchers to quantify uncertainty with credible intervals and incorporate prior knowledge, making reliability assessment more informative — especially with small or skewed samples.
