Ordinal Generalizability Theory

Ordinal generalizability theory extends classical G-theory to the analysis of reliability and measurement error when item responses are ordered categorical (e.g., Likert-type) rather than continuous. It partitions score variance into components attributable to persons, facets, and their interactions, while accounting for the discrete, bounded nature of ordinal rating scales.
