Multilevel McDonald's Omega
Multilevel McDonald's omega estimates reliability at two distinct levels — within groups and between groups — for scales administered to individuals nested in clusters such as classrooms, teams, or organizations. It accounts for the non-independence induced by grouping and avoids the bias that single-level omega produces in clustered data.
