Bayesian McDonald's Omega
Bayesian McDonald's omega applies Bayesian statistical estimation to the omega reliability coefficient, yielding a full posterior distribution over omega rather than a single point estimate. This provides credible intervals and probabilistic uncertainty quantification for the reliability of a composite or scale score, making it especially useful for small samples and complex factor structures.
